    Fråga till wordpress com support 20181214
    Hallo,

    I have had my WP blog, “Runda hörnan”, domain stickansblog.com, in several years. It’s no commercial site, only a site there I, a retired, put in a lot of own nature photos and some others.

    Last year I was near max 3 GB, so I bought Personal. Now I would like to export my wordpress,com site to a Swedish host and domain, but here I have got trouble, so now my hope is that you can help me. Have you any guide for transfer such a site? You know, to pay about 1000 SKR is much money for a retired, and for me to move my site, step to step … it’s a really a big work. My site have about 120 pages an more than 2500 pictures. Moreover it could be without success … I have read about Duplicator. Is this right way, and in such a case, how do I get this program?

    Best regards
    Stig

    Hi,
    Of cause I will be back and tell you how it will works for me, but perhaps it will takes me long time to do this export. I,m an old man – and this will be the first time … Of cause, I will be back and tell you if i succeed. I hope I manage it by myself, but if I get any problems I feel that I can be in touch with you justjennifer.

    PS: Of cause I will read also your last link.

    Hi justjennifer!

    I had been misunderstanding the cost for my Personal subscription 2018. I had read that my subscription should be much higher for 2019, compared to 2018.

    Just now I found a mail, there I could see that I got an offer so my subscription cost for my site should be 360 SEK for 2019, i.e. about 35 $, including cost for my domain! I paid directly, and now I will be staying at wordpress.com. Not move to another host, so I have stopped my work with export of my site.

    Now I really hope that I not have been misunderstanding the cost! Can you justjennifer or any other moderator confirm that I’m right here?

    Best regards
    Stig

    Hello again, if you already have a WordPressdotcom plan and purchased a domain as a part of that plan, when it renews next year you will pay for the plan and the domain registration separately.

    To make sure what the status is of your current Personal plan and what will happen when it renews, I’ve added a tag to this thread for Staff assistance. Thanks for your patience while they get back to you.

    Hello again justjennifer!

    If I next year have to pay much more for an own domain – I will of cause skip my domain, and only pay pay these 360 SEK, about 35 $, for my site. To have an own domain is not necessary for me. For me it will be okey to have my webbsite with wordpress.com. My site is only for me and my friends – no commercial at all … Hope you know what I mean.

    Best regards
