  Hi WordPress

  We have just set up a blog with you guys and so far so good. We would like to host the domain ourselves and was just wondering if this is possible? We have just learnt that wordpress.org exists, and more importantly the difference between it and wordpress.com, and it seems that in hindsight it would have been better to have signed up to wordpress.org in the first place for this purpose. If there is any way to do this without starting from scratch that would be great.

  I look forward to hearing from you.

  Thanks

  Kim

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your blog to a WordPress.org instance. As we only support blogs hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new blog–including the importing of the file–must be taken to the WordPress.org support community

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com blog 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.
