    Hi, I want to inquire how we can use WordPress to host this website. My work email is (email visible only to moderators and staff). My company owns alohagas.com and alohaislandmart.com. Please advise. Thank you.

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Unknown
    Correct account: Unknown

    Hi there! Just to check – were you considering bringing in these two separate sites to WordPress.com?

    We’re happy to provide you with more information regarding WordPress.com and hosting the sites here – please do let us know what kind of functions you would need, in order to match your current setup for both alohaislandmart.com and alohagas.com and we’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.

    I did have a quick look at both sites and they seem to primarily offer information about the companies, is that correct? Would you be in need of any store/ecommerce functions?

    Not at this time.

    OK! I took a look at each site. Assuming you aren’t looking to redesign them, you’d want our managed Business Plan hosting for each one so you can import them with your theme and any plugins intact.
    https://wordpress.com/business

    Not only is that fast and reliable SSL hosting, but it comes with direct WordPress support, maintenance, security, backups with Jetpack Rewind, and Akismet spam filtering.

    I’d recommend starting with one site and importing it like this:
    https://wordpress.com/support/import/

    Use the full import option. When it’s done, you’ll have a chance to review the site and chat with support if needed, then we can help you make it live here. And then we’d just repeat the same process with the next domain. We’re happy to answer any other questions you have. Cheers!

    I don’t know which one to choose. Are you able to help me with that?

    Are you asking about which domain to choose?

    No, I am unsure which site I have and which option to import to:

    Self-Hosted WordPress.org Site

    A WordPress.com Site

    Non-WordPress Site

    You’d want to choose Self-Hosted WordPress.org Site.

    Once you’ve purchased the Business plan, you’ll get access to 24/7 Live Chat support, where we can guide you in real-time.
