  We have operations in BC Canada. We wish to keep our domain with our service provider (Telus Mobility) Can we forward the tools from wordpress to our provider and domain? What obstacles will be a possibility in the near future?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The site URL interanwireless.wordpress.com is a subdomain of wordpress.com and cannot be transferred elsewhere.

  If you wish to export your above site content in order to import to a standalone WP install, you may do so by following these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/

  It is not entirely clear to me what tools you are wishing to transfer over to your own self-hosted website. Could you explain a little further?

  Basically, our domain interan.net is held at the local internet service provider. If we use WordPress services then how can we display the contents of the website created at Interan.net ?. And, what will URL show when the people browse it ?

  interan.net and interanwireless.wordpress.com are currently two entirely separate sites.

  What exactly would you like to do:

  Map interan.net to your WordPress.com website? The content of interanwireless.wordpress.com will appear under your domain name, interan.net, but your site will be hosted by WordPress.com and you are bound by the Terms of Service here. Here’s more on domain mapping https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/ This is a paid upgrade that needs to be renewed annually.

  Or export the content of your WordPress.com website, interanwireless.wordpress.com, to your local ISP web hosting, where you would need to set up a standalone WP software install to continue using standalone WordPress? Here’s more on exporting the content from your WPcom website: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
