  WordPress.com does not self host WordPress.org sites. There is a list of hosts that we recommend located here:

  Hosting

  You can point your domain to your new host using these instructions:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  I assume you mean a site at another webhost? Absolutely. You’ll want to use the instructions that I posted in my second link above.

  If you mean can you move your domain from one WordPress.com site to another WordPress.com site, yes. Let me know which sites and I can help you with that.

  Thank you so much!
  I have an unrelated question. My WordPress.org theme is limiting my menu items to 16. How do I fix this?

  As we do not have access to your server or files, WordPress.com support cannot troubleshoot self-hosted WordPress site technical issues. The best place for self-hosted site help is the support community at WordPress.org:
