Hi there,
Can you share the URL of the site you want to downgrade?
The account you’re using to post here doesn’t own any paid sites with us, only the free site, http://soserenes.wordpress.com/.

Thanks :)
That site isn’t hosted with us here on WordPress.com. You’ve built that site using the open source WordPress software, made on WordPress.org, and you’re paying a different company, Hostgator.com, to host that site for you.
If you want to host that site on our free plan here on WordPress.com going forward, you can do that by migrating your content to us:
In WP-Admin on that site, go to Tools ->Export, and create a WordPress export file. Then on your WordPress.com site, go to Tools ->Import, and follow the steps there to upload that file. That will import your posts, pages, comments, and media files to the site with us.

Once you’re sure everything has made it across, you can then contact Hostgator support to cancel your domain and hosting with them, and take your site offline.
Your theme, plugins and site settings will not be imported – migrating those over require our Pro plan. Bringing your domain over to us would also require a paid plan.
Let me know if you have any questions about this :)

Hi
I need the same domain name with a free address so I think my blog will be moved to soserene.wordpress.com. I think for now, I will go with the free storage plan. -
“The address soserene.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Sorry, that site is reserved to the wordpress.com account soserene.” You’ll have to choose another name for your free site.

Sorry, but I didn’t get your point.
I have
Soserene.wordpress.com and soserene.in.
I want to convert .in to .wordpress.com
If I can’t,if there is another option. -
If you want to continue using the domain, soserene.in, for your site, you will need to upgrade to a paid plan:

Thank you for your reply.
Can I migrate my .in website to wordpress.com free website without loosing any content?
