  Hi! I just want to know how to transition from my domain to a normal blog at WordPress. Do I have to transfer all my blog post manually or there is another way.

  Hi there!

  What do you mean by a normal blog at WordPress?
  Is your idea to move your site hosted elsewhere to WordPress.com? If so, you can export and import all the content as explained here:

  Please note that if you would like to keep a free site here, you won’t be able to use a custom domain.

  Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.

  If I can’t afford to keep a domain, what should I do to transition to a blog without a domain?

  You can move your site here following this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/coming-from-self-hosted/

  You can move it into a site under a free plan, no need to add a custom domain.
