  So after I purchased the domain name on wordpress, I realized that I will not be able to add my 3rd party theme to use for my site. I can switch over to a suggested one, but I just paid $99. What have I just paid for then? I don’t want to cancel the purchase because won’t it cancel my domain name? Advice on moving over the Bluehost?

  It would make my life so much simpler if wordpress would add this theme that I want to use. http://themeforest.net/item/unicon-designdriven-multipurpose-theme/full_screen_preview/10648488

  Recommendations?

  Hi Lori,

  Although we don’t have that same theme in our repository, we do have many themes that have a slider and content that’s split up into three columns on the home page. Radiate, Luxury, and Shoreditch are similar themes that may suit what you’re after.

  I also encourage you to have a further browse through our repository. You can filter based on different criteria at the top:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/

  If you’d prefer to move to Bluehost, then we have the following step-by-step guidance:

  https://move.wordpress.com/

  We would be able to refund the cost of WordPress.com Premium ($99) minus the cost of your domain ($26) to you. You could then update your domain’s name servers so that it pointed to your new Bluehost hosting.

  Hope that information’s helpful! Please do let me know if any extra questions come up.
