  What’s the best way to transfer my domain name from a third party to wordpress? I want to give up my subscription at ‘mijndomein.nl’ and register the same URL at wordpress. Any tips on how to do that? I saw WordPress offers a transfer from a wordpress URL to a third party, but maybe it’s also possible the other way around? Thanks!

  When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Hi there,

  We do not accept incoming domain transfers, but you could point the domain’s nameservers from your current hosting provider to WordPress.com. Our support page will guide you through the process of pointing your domain’s nameservers to us:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
