  Hello. If I transfer a domain name I own to wordpress, will my current blog, as is, show up on the domain name when I type in the URL?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Transferring your domain and pointing your WordPress blog to the domain are two different things. You can have your domain with your existing register and still point it to your WordPress blog. You will need one of the paid plan to use a custom domain though.

  Here you can find a detailed pricing structure:

  Here is the process to point a domain you already own to your WordPress.com blog:

  I hope you find this helpful, in case if you have any further queries, please feel free to reply on this string.
  Regards,
