Can I Use Domain Mapping With A Different Host?
-
I have a blog hosted with WordPress (http://igotfish.wordpress.com/) that I’ve been using since Aprill of 2011 and I wish to move it to my domain http://igotfish.com but I’m not 100% sure on the best way to do this. I have read over the Domain Mapping upgrade which sounds like what I want because I would like to keep all of my content that I’ve already published, but my question is can I do this without using WordPress as my hosting (I already have my own hosting account)?
If this is not possible, is a site re-direct the next best choice for my situation?

Instead going that route, you could just install WordPres son your hosting provider.
First, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on your hosting provider.
Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
