  Hi there!

  You can definitely use the same domain! All you’ll need to do is change the name servers to your new host.

  If you’d like your WordPress.com site to continue to forward to your new site, you should keep the Domain Mapping upgrade on your WordPress.com account.

  Here’s some information on moving to WordPress.org:

  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:
