  Hi there,

  It is not possible to move the website created on WordPress.com to other host but you can recreate it on your desired host using WordPress.org (self-hosted WordPress package).

  My opinion – I think you can keep the old domain and connect it to the current site you have on WordPress.com

  Let me know if that helps in anyway :)

  And one thing I forgot to mention –

  You can surely move the content of the website using the export option. More info here –
