  Hi there,

  Yes, you can keep your domain registered through us and just find a new host for your WordPress.org site. You can find a list of recommended hosts here:

  Hosting

  Just note that your domain will need to be renewed yearly through us at WordPress.com. You can find more information about the difference between hosting and registration here:

  All About Domains

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:
