    Hello WordPress Support,

    I currently have a WordPress website hosted with a third-party hosting provider. I’m considering migrating it to WordPress.com for better management and potential benefits. Could you please provide guidance on the following points:

    1. What are the steps to migrate my site to WordPress.com?
    2. Are there any cost implications associated with this migration?
    3. What advantages does WordPress.com offer over third-party hosting in terms of performance, security, and support?
    4. Are there any limitations or restrictions I should be aware of?

    Thank you for your assistance!

    Hi @zeeshanaslamdurrani

    WordPress.com offers hassle-free migration services at no cost. You can request a free migration here: https://wordpress.com/support/request-a-free-migration/.

    For speed, performance, and security, WordPress.com provides a custom server environment for better performance, automatic updates, robust security, 24/7 expert support for paid plans, and handles all maintenance, allowing you to focus on your content.

    There are some limitations on website customization based on the plan you choose, so I would suggest you carefully considering your needs and the associated costs before making the switch to ensure it aligns with your goals and expectations.

    Here is the list of pricing plans to choose according to your needs: https://wordpress.com/pricing/.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for reaching out to us! We appreciate your interest in migrating your site to WordPress.com.

    After reviewing the nature of your site, we noticed that it advertises an app that promises to increase Instagram follower counts. Unfortunately, our Terms of Service do not allow sites that sell followers or similar services. Therefore, we would not be able to host your site on WordPress.com.

    You might want to explore other hosting options. You can find a list of potential hosts here.

    Regards,
