Domain Name Transfer and Hosting Help

    I have a domain name registered with Bluehost and web hosting provided by Bluehost, I believe I’m being over charged and I want to change everything over to WordPress.

    I’m aware that I can transfer my domain name to WordPress but I’m confused about hosting services. Does WordPress offer web hosting once I transfer my domain name?

    I’m looking to start a Premium plan with WordPress and completely drop Bluehost. I need my domain name to remain the same, and I would still need web hosting services.

    Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi there,

    Does WordPress offer web hosting once I transfer my domain name?

    Yes, it does, WordPress.com is a hosting company which specializes in hosting WordPress sites. If your site was built using the WordPress CMS then you will be able to transfer it. More info on how to transfer to WordPress.com below:

    You can still use your domain, you can choose to either Map it to your site or Transfer it to WordPress which will allow you to manage both your site and domain from your WordPress account.

    Before you can map/transfer a domain, you’d need to purchase a plan on your account, please see the link below for all plans available on WordPress.com:

    Please write back if you have more questions.

    Thanks
