Transferring Domain Name to Wordpress.com

Hello there,

As Wordpress didn't update their domain transfer guide yet and did not add a transfer option in new UI, here's a quick solution that helped me to transfer my registered domain name to Wordpress.com.

INSTRUCTIONS AS FOLLOW :

Step 1 -

 First go to this following link - https://wordpress.com/domains/manage, then click on " Switch Site " Button in the top left corner.

Note : you must login before you do this.

Step 2 -

 Now Click on " ADD NEW SITE " button

Step 3 -

 You will land on a page where it asks you to enter your site name, click " Skip for now " button.

Step 4 -

 You will see CHOOSE A DESIGN web page. Here, select start from scratch box.

Step 5 -

 Now you will see choose a domain web page. Click on " USE A DOMAIN NAME I OWN " Button on the bottom.

Step 6 -

Next, you will be asked to type your existing registered domain name, type it and click " Next " button.

Step 7 -

If your domain is already registered you will be taken to a page named as "Use a domain that I own : registerdomainname.com". 

Here on the " Transfer your domain " block, click " Select " button.

Step 8 -

You will be asked to Select a Plan, don't worry just select a plan, you can delete this during checkout : ). I did the same thing.

Step 9 -

Now you will be taken to Checkout page! On YOUR ORDER section click " Edit " button.

Step 10 -

On Wordpress Plan section, click "Remove from Cart", this option will remove the plan you had chosen before and the domain transfer pricing will be updated.

Step 11 -

Congrats you lucky chick! Click on " Save Order " and make the payment to start your domain transfer.

Finally! That's how you transfer a domain name to wordpress.com for now, until the Wordpress adds a domain name transfer option to New UI or updates their old guide.

I created this post on 3 December 2021.

Hope this helps for you or anyone who are worried transferring domain name to wordpress.com.

Cheers!
