  Hi –

  One bit of criteria for domain transfer is that is has to be an extension which could also be registered on WordPress.com. Otherwise you’d need to map it. The domain also has to be 60 days old.

  A big benefit of the transfer is that everything regarding your site is then in one place.

  Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  The mapping will cost you $13/year after the first year. The domain registration renewal will cost you $18/year after the first year.

  Write back with more questions. You really can’t pick a wrong option though, and neither is permanent.
