  Hi there,

  To be sure I understand, you have a WordPress site on another provider, and you wish to transfer that site, the domain, and email to WordPress.com?

  That is possible and you can do it by following the steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

  Please note that you can use our free import tool, but it will not migrate an exact copy of your site, but instead will only transfer the pages, blog posts, and uploaded media. This is the perfect option if you want to use your existing content in a re-design on a new site.

  If you want instead to move an exact copy of your site with no changes, you will want to first upgrade your WordPress.com site to our business plan. That will make it possible for you to migrate an exact copy. Learn more about our WordPress.com Business Plan here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
