  Hi! I wanted to buy my domain and did so through Reclaim Hosting. I cannot seem to get my wordpress site to move there without paying wordpress an additional $100. Does anyone know how to do this?

  Hi there

  So, you are wanting to migrate your WordPress.com site over to Reclaim hosting? If so, you’ll need to touch base with them in regards to what the costs will be to host the site.

  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:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
