Transferring d domain
-
Hello, I would like to set up a wordpress website for my small business. I already have a domain at dreamhost. As i understand it I must transfer this domain to wordpress to be able to set up a website with that address. I also have my 2 business emails addresses linked to my domain at dreamhost. Will these email addresses also be transferred? And will there be any interruption to the service of them during the transfer time? Finally how much will it cost to transfer the domain?
Many thanks, Beth. -
Hi there,
Considering you already have email hosting set up at Dreamhost and WordPress.com doesn’t currently offer this service, my suggestion would be to map your domain to your WordPress.com site.
Information on domain mapping and the process to do so can be found within the following link: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Then in order to associate the email you already have hosted elsewhere you will have to follow the directions outlined here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/add-other-email/
It is possible that there could be some interruption in service with the mapping but I cannot accurately confirm this for certain. This is something you may have to communicate with both parties on to be sure it is as minimal as possible if this is a critical subject for you.
The costs involved will be dependent on the upgraded plan you decide to purchase, as this is a necessary upgrade in order to map your custom domain in. More information on pricing can be found here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
If you have any other question or need any further clarification please feel free to let us know,
Cheers
