  Hello,

  I currently have a domain name registered with Yahoo, along with the business email address service from them. I would like to keep using the business email service from Yahoo, but just bring over the domain name to WordPress.

  I believe I followed the prompts when creating this WordPress account but I wanted to make sure what the step by step procedure would be for this domain transfer. Do I still need to contact Yahoo?

  Please let me know.

  Thanks a lot in advance.

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

  Hi @ldbicanada.

  You can find information on the steps you need to take to transfer a domain name from another provider to WordPress on the Incoming Domain Transfer support page.

  And yes, as a part of the process you will need to contact Yahoo to make sure the domain is unlocked and to get the authorization code. There are more details about this process on the support page abour preparing your domain for transfer.

  You may find the support page about different email options helpful as well.

  If you have any other questions about the transfer let us know!

  Hi ldbicanada,

  The documentation @cookgardensew linked to will guide you through the process of transferring an existing domain to WordPress.com:

  Which domain did you register through Yahoo? If you let me know, I can check a few details and look at your options using a custom email address at that domain.

  Thanks!
