  Hey there,

  Many thanks for reaching out and happy to help you with this!

  It looks like https://dengel-elektro.website-gestalten-lassen.de/ is a WordPress site and so the answer is yes.

  It looks like the site is using Elementor, which is a third party plugin, and so the good news is that the site can be imported over as is, using this plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ – which is completely automated.

  The steps are as follows:

  You would need to first create a site here: https://wordpress.com/start/domains > use a free WordPress.com domain (i.e. example.WordPress.com), and not the intended domain at this stage and the WordPress.com Business Plan would need to be purchased along the way.

  At the live site, using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ the site can then be imported.

  Once the import is complete, it would then be possible to either transfer the domain over to WordPress.com, or connect the domain via the site (which is free to do with the business plan) via custom DNS settings:

  • https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/ (domain transfer)
  • https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/ (domain connection)

  I hope this helps!
