  I am new to blogging and I would like to to set up a blog using a free wordpress domain name. If I find that I want to move forward with a paid wordpress domain, would I be able to transfer existing content to the paid wordpress domain?

  Hi there,

  You will not need to transfer any of your site’s content for the sake of purchasing a domain. When registering a domain, it is connected to the site through mapping. It doesn’t affect your site at all other than the domain masking the WordPress.com URL.

  For more info on registering a custom domain, please visit our support page:

  Thanks!
