Domain Management
WordPress.com provides comprehensive domain management features to help users easily manage their website domains. With WordPress.com, users can register a new domain, transfer an existing domain, or connect a domain they already own.
The platform offers a user-friendly interface for managing domain settings, including DNS configuration, domain mapping, and email forwarding.
Additionally, WordPress.com provides domain privacy protection to keep personal information secure.
Register a New Domain
On WordPress.com, you can register a domain. Plus, with any new paid plan, you can get a domain for free for your first year.
Connect or Transfer a Domain
If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can still use that domain with your WordPress.com site. You can also transfer your domain to WordPress.com so that you can manage all parts of your site within your WordPress.com account.
Manage Your DNS Records
DNS records are special settings that control what people see when they visit your domain. They also allow you to connect your domain to third-party services such as an email provider. This guide will show you how to add, remove, and change your domain’s DNS records.
