    Hi,

    To begin the process, please check that your domain has been registered with GoDaddy for more than 60 days, as domains less than 60 days old cannot be transferred due to domain registry rules.

    If your domain is eligible for transfer, we can move forward with that process. If it’s been less than 60 days, don’t worry—you can still use your domain on WordPress.com by connecting it to your site here.

    You can read more about the differences between connecting and transferring a domain here: https://wordpress.com/support/domain-connection-vs-domain-transfer/

    Before proceeding, could you please let us know if you’re looking to transfer just the domain itself, or are you also interested in migrating the content from your GoDaddy hosting?

    Also, it would be greatly helpful to understand your goals and the type of site you wish to create or maintain with WordPress.com. This will allow us to provide you with the best guidance.

    Let us know, and we’ll be happy to help!
