    Hi there,

    You can use WordPress with a domain registered through Google, yes. There are two routes you can go:

    1) You can connect your domain you have with Google Domains to your WordPress.com site at http://wildcleaners89179326103.wordpress.com/, using the Domain Connection upgrade included in our Pro plan:

    https://wordpress.com/en/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

    You can also transfer the domain registration to us entirely if you prefer. You can transfer one domain for free on the Pro plan:

    https://wordpress.com/en/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

    2) You can get a hosting plan from Google in addition to your domain. Then download the open source WordPress software from WordPress.org, and install that on your server at Google. Then you can migrate your content from your WordPress.com site to the new site you have over there.

    Note that if you go with this option, Google will become your hosting provider, and your site will have no connection to us on WordPress.com. So you won’t have access to any features we offer that are specific/unique to WordPress.com, and our support team won’t be able to help you with any issues you run into with your site.

    Let me know if you have any questions about this.
