You mean 12 bucks a YEAR.

thanks. just was wondering if wordpress would react since forwarding would bypass that 12 bucks a month. I do realized the search issue but really dont care, and since it is a small site, the limitations of using wordpress.com would not really matter, though there would be a couple of widgets I would miss.

You can forward - don't know of any reason it would not be allowed - but search engines would not index the domain that was forwarded - so no search engine traffic - do the $ 12-- easier.

Note also that the rules are different here than they are for your current host. You should read the Terms of Service very careful before you move.

I am thinking about moving my small wordpress site from a paid host. Would it be against wordpress.com tos to forward a domain instead of doing a nameserver change?

Thanks-
