  Hi @katieiredale

  The best thing to do is to build your WordPress site using the WordPress.com domain name supplied (looks like you have already started).

  With regards to the domain name, I’m not sure how easy WIX makes it, but you have two options.

  You can either transfer the domain to WordPress so we can be your hosting a domain registrar. Or you can keep your domain with WIX and map it to point to the WordPress site.

  Here is some more information

  Domain mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Here’s some information about transferring a domain away from WIX: https://support.wix.com/en/article/transferring-your-wix-domain-away-from-wix-2477749

  Any other questions, let me know. Good luck!
