    Hi the team,
    I have set up a new WordPress website on other server hosting with new domain name.
    This website is totaly new and different of my previous website hosting by WordPress.com.
    My problem is that I would like to keep the web trafic generated by my previous web site and redirect this toward the new one :
    xxx.wordpress.com redirect -> http://www.xxx.com
    How I can do it please?

    Thanks by advance.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi,

    If the new site is a WordPress.org site, then you can purchase Site Redirect. See the Site Redirect support page. I think this will do the trick, but I’m not sure if it’ll work redirect to a self-hosted non-WordPress.org site, so I’ll add a tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention.

    Hi there,

    The site redirect is the correct way to send your traffic from the WordPress.com site to the new domain. However, if the new site does not have the same content as the old WordPress.com site people might find a Page not found error when they reach the new page, as the site redirect will try to redirect to the same post on the new site. There is no way to force it to always redirect to the other site’s home page.
