  My domain is registered with Hetzner and I also have web hosting. WordPress had been part of the Hetzner package for R188 per month. Do I have to cancel all with Hetzner and then set up in WordPress. Please indicate what has to be done tx magdalene

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Howdy,

  First you’ll want to move the site to WordPress.com. We have a guide here that’ll help:

  Then, you can backup (if you wish) and cancel the hosting plan at Hetzner. However you should not cancel the domain name.

  You will need to keep the domain registered there, and then use this guide to map it so that it points to your WordPress.com site:
