  Hi there!

  https://khushitripathi.com is currently running a self-hosted version of WordPress, which is not the same as websites running on WordPress.com. You can find more information regarding the difference between the two flavors here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you would like the transfer your contents to a free WordPress.com site, you would want to start by exporting the contents from your current site, and then import them to your new site here. Please check these step-by-step instructions to know more about the transfer-in process: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/view-all/
