  Hi dconnollyislandgmailcom,

  We only provide a guided transfer service for moving sites from WordPress.com to WordPress.org.

  Moving your existing site to us would be a manual process but there is some information about the key steps here, which may be useful:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

  In short — content would need to be exported from your existing site, then imported into the new site on WordPress.com. The domain can remain registered through your current provider and connected to the site with domain mapping.

  I’m happy to answer any questions you have.
