  Hello,

  I already have an existing wordpress blog but it is hosted by wordpress on their platform. I’m interested in hosting this with hostgator and changing the domain name to one that I own.

  Is this possible or must I start over if I want to host it and get a new domain name?

  Hopefully this question makes sense
