    Hi there,

    Third-party templates cannot be used on WordPress.com sites. We offer over 275 free and premium themes that are usable on sites hosted here. If you’re interested in perusing those, please check out:

    http://theme.wordpress.com/

    If you want to use the theme you purchased from Themetrust, it can only be used with a self-hosted WordPress site.

    If you’re unsure of the difference between hosting here at WordPress.com and self-hosting via WordPress.org, please take a look at this comparison:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!

    thanks for the quick reply!

    I am considering moving to wordpress.org but I am a bit confused considering that my hosting plan is not one of the once you offer.
    Can I easily move form .com to .org?
    can I make it directly through goDaddy or through my wordpress account?

    I am very confused which should be the next steps to take.

    thank you very much

    Hi there! If you’d like a self-hosted site, you’d need a server to host your website. You would not sign up for that here at WordPress.com. However, you can certainly use GoDaddy. You can also use one of the hosts in the link below that we recommend. We don’t get a kickback from them, or anything :), we just think they make it easy to install a self-hosted version of WordPress.org.

    This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

    As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

    If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

    Please let me know if you need help deciding how to proceed. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
