  I signed up for a domain name through Google Domains. Now WordPress wants me to transfer the domain to WordPress that includes a one-year extension then $18/year thereafter. Is there any reason why NOT to do this?

  You have two options, and it’s more a personal preference type of thing, really.

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://en.support.wordpress.com/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  So, basically, are you an “all of your eggs in one basket” type of person, or “not all of your eggs in one basket”? :)
