  I need to transfer my domain registration to WordPress. How do I do this? I am going to map a domain registered at Yahoo over to WP. But how will this effect my renewal process in the future? Will I have to continue to renew with Yahoo? Or can I transfer the registration over to WordPress and renew it here.

  I would rather have everything under one site and I need some help on how to do that. I cannot believe how difficult it is to get help on this subject.

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

  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers. See here please for mapping an existing domain to your WordPress.com blog. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  Thank you for the response. So then this means that I need to pay a $13 yearly domain mapping fee to WordPress in addition to the yearly fee I pay to the registrar to keep my domain name registered?

  Yes that’s exactly what it means.
