  Hi I’ve purchased a domain from another site but would like to use it on wordpress. Is there an easy way of transferring it over instead of just having it direct it to my wordpress site?

  Thanks very much

  Hi there,

  To use a domain you already own on WordPress.com you need the domain mapping upgrade that is included in all of our plans. You can find the most recent information here:

  You’ll see that article you link to was published in 2011 and isn’t entirely accurate any more. For the most up to date info please refer to the documentation at https://en.support.wordpress.com instead :)
