  I have a domain name I registered years ago. Last year I started a WordPress site, and I would like to use my registered domain for the site. But I would also like to transfer the registration itself to WordPress, so I can manage it through you. Can I do that? And how do I go about it?

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

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com does not currently support incoming domain transfers, but you can still get any domain to work with your WordPress.com site by following the instruction for domain mapping:

  Let me know if you have more questions.

  Hello @playhaus2015
  Incoming domain transfers are currently not supported on WordPress.COM.

  So what you can do instead is map your existing domain to your wordpress.com site.

  NOTE:

  You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan on your site in order to map a domain.

  As stated here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Hope this helps 🙂
