transfer registration

is your website currently set up on WordPress.com?

It was originally set up on wordpress.com, but is now on www.ads-software.com

did you purchase custom domain name as part of your WordPress.com account?

Yes.

for upgrades purchased while your website was on WordPress.com, I recommend contacting
https://en.support.wordpress.com/

The domain name was purchased at wordpress.com. It has now been upgraded to www.ads-software.com. I want the site to be fully hosted on DreamHost. DreamHost won’t transfer the registration until I get authorization from www.ads-software.com

since the transaction originated as part of your WordPress.com account, the volunteers in this forum would not be the best source of help for domain name issues.

I recommend the support team at WordPress.com
