  Foxfirespirit.com and Foxfiremassage.com were both created under my dead name (Kassie Robison) and through Westhost.
  I’d like to transfer both pages to wordpress and I have the transfer authorization key for both sites.
  I’d also like all wordpress sign ins to be moved to @itazurakit profile and for my username to be changed from Kassie to Kit or itazurakit please.
  Thank you.

  Hey there!

  Happy to help you with this, and we can take this step by step.

  I’d like to transfer both pages to wordpress and I have the transfer authorization key for both sites.

  Ok, so transfer the domains, you would need to follow these steps here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  With that in mind, I would recommend doing this step last, and here’s why…

  I’d also like all wordpress sign ins to be moved to  @itazurakit profile and for my username to be changed from Kassie to Kit or itazurakit please.

  So the usernames created at the other sites would be separate to what’s created here.

  To process to move each site, would be as follows:

  1. Create a site on WordPress.com, site is created under a temporary domain (for example: mysite.WordPress.com).
  2. The migration of the site takes place (Using Move to WordPress.com plugin). The live site, remains as is. The site at WordPress.com is a duplicate of the live site, under the temporary domain.
  3. The domain is then either transferred away from the current host and into WordPress.com, or connected to WordPress.com using custom DNS.
  4. One connected, the domain for site at WordPress.com can be switched from mysite.WordPress.com to the custom domain

  Each site would have their own their Business Plan:

  We’ll happy to help with the migration as best we can and I hope this is good information so far!
