  I have an ipage hosting account and they told me in order to transfer my wordpress site I need to download it first. Is this possible?

  Hi there,

  What site do you want to transfer? You only have one site in this WordPress.com account, https://edentalservices.wordpress.com/, and that site is only two days old with almost no content on it.

  If that’s the site, you can download an export file of the site content at My Site ->Tools ->Export.

  Export Your Website’s Content

  Then at iPage you’ll first install a new installation of WordPress on their servers. After doing that, log into that site’s dashboard and you’ll be able to import the file at WP-Admin ->Tools ->Import on that site.

  It is not possible to download a complete WordPress.com site and upload it directly to the server at another hosting provider.

  Thank you Kokkieh! I ended up re-doing my site on i-page, and added a simple link to my blog on WordPress. I want my blog to be part of my website though… can it be added as a subdomain? My domain is registered with GoDaddy but they couldn’t help me with that… could you point me in the right direction? I appreciate all the help!

  Yes, you can map a subdomain to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-subdomain/
