  I purchased a premium domain from GoDaddy but have not used it yet. Do I map or transfer?

  Hi –

  Either option will work just fine :)

  With domain transfers, it would need to have been registered at least 60 days ago before being eligible for that option.

  Here’s both sets of instructions:

  Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  One benefit to transferring the domain is that all of your site-related things are in one space. If it’s not an option at the moment, it can happen down the road once eligible.

  Write back to me here with any additional questions. Include the domain too so I can take a look at the status.
