  I had a free domain but never got round to setting up the website. Hoever, when I tired to transfer to wordpress, it say it doesn’t accept .co.uk domains. Why? And the system doesn’t explain very well what domain mapping means. I don’t want to pay twice to keep the .co.uk

  Can I transfer it to another domain with an ‘acceptable’ domain address

  Hi there,

  Hoever, when I tired to transfer to wordpress, it say it doesn’t accept .co.uk domains. Why?

  There are just a few CCtlds we can’t accept here, and .co.uk is one of them. But you’d be welcome to map the domain instead, for now. Here’s how:

  Clarifying too, you’ll still need to pay for your domain each year, even if you have a plan here with us. We just cover one year for the transfer.
