  Typo in my request: I want to delete a registered domain name from site ground and use it for my wordpress blog. I am afraid if I cancel the site ground registry, I will loose it before I can ask for it on wordpress.

  Hi there!

  Yes, you could potentially lose the domain if you cancel it.

  I would recommend keeping your domain with SiteGround, purchasing the Domain Mapping upgrade on WordPress.com, and changing your domain’s nameservers to the following:
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  If you’re not sure how, you’ll need to contact your registrar, SiteGround, for assistance.

  Here’s more information on the Domain Mapping upgrade:

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  But then I’m paying for the wordpress upgrade and the site ground domain. I’d rather not (money’s tight right now). If I map it I have to pay again, so not interested in that either.

  I guess I’ll take a chance on losing it.
  Thanks for the information, csonnek
