  Provided you install and activate the Jetpack plugin Staff can transfer your subscribers and your stats for you. I tagged this thread for their assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

  Thank you …I have it installed on WordPress.org… do I also need to figure out how to do it on the WordPress.com?

  No. We cannot install plugins on WordPress.com blogs. All that’s required now is your patience. :)

  Hello, can I please ask you to help me with moving my followers too. I recently moved my blog http://www.superinspire.wordpress.com to self hosted wordpress site http://www.superinspire.me

  I have already installed Jetpack. Is it possible to move both email and wordpress.com subscribers to my new website?

  Thanks

  Hi, thank you so much for your assistance. Can I ask you another question please? I see that my followers have been moved to my self hosted blog, but I’m also getting new followers on my previous wordpress.com blog. Do they get automatically transferred to my new blog and do they get updates when I publish new posts?

  I ask this as in Site stats – My followers (on self hosted site) I don’t see the new followers. I get an email when I get new subscriber but it says they will receive updates from superinspire.wordpress.com rather than superinspire.me

  Thanks

  Do they get automatically transferred to my new blog and do they get updates when I publish new posts?

  Each blog is separate. New followers won’t be automatically transferred. I just moved the latest followers to your new blog though.

  Perhaps you can create a static front page on your old site and notify the users that you have a new domain: http://en.support.wordpress.com/front-page

  Or you can get Site Redirect upgrade to automatically redirectors visitors from one site to the other: http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

  I have and can only migrate the posts, not any of the stats or followers. I have the jetpack installed on my new site http://www.withacupandasword.com hosted with an independent host company, but don’t know what to do with it … is there help for me, too?
