    I want full control of my Website. I am a premium user and purchased a custom domain (from WordPress.com) along with all other things for $99. Now, I want to transfer my blog to WordPress.org.
    How can I do that? What are the steps involved in it?
    Wordpress Support system has been very impressive and i would like a helpful reply as soon as possible from your team.

    The URL is wrong below:
    After purchasing it:> http://www.teengazette.com

    Happy to get you setup with a self-hosted site! First, if you’re planning on moving to a self-hosted site, I can refund $73, which is the price of the Premium bundle minus the cost of your domain. That way, you can continue to use your domain with your self-hosted site. Would that be alright?

    Next, you’ll want to follow the steps here:

    First, you’ll want to setup a separate hosting account. Then, the instructions above will explain how to move your content over.

    Regarding your domain, domains can’t be transferred within the first 60 days after registration. So, in the meantime, we can change your name servers to point to the new host as explained here:

    Change a Domain’s Name Servers

    After 60 days, you can transfer your domain so that your hosting and domain registration are managed in the same place as explained here:

    Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

    It sounds like a lot, but I’m happy to help along the way. Can you confirm the refund and then let me know if you’ve selected a host?
