  Hi,

  Just want to ask what would it cost to transfer my .com domain to WordPress? I want to know if it will be more or less expensive than where my domain is currently registered and renewed.

  Also are there any site speed benefits to having your domain registered and hosted on WordPress as opposed to just hosted on here but registered elsewhere.

  Many thanks,

  Munther

  Hi there,

  The .com extension at WordPress.com is $18 , more about the pricing for domains can be found here:

  Regarding the transfer procedure, there is a nice support article on that one:

  About the question

  are there any site speed benefits to having your domain registered and hosted on WordPress as opposed to just hosted on here but registered elsewhere

  I would say that it does not matter that much in terms of speed of the website.

  But it does matter in terms of having all your domain related stuff togethere, the registration and the hosting, not having the need to login and manage the domain from multiple places.

  Hope this answers your questions, do let me know if you need further support :)

  Stefan
