  Hello,

  there is no need to delete anything from your old website on WordPress.com if you are staring a new, self-hosted one.

  My question is, why do you think that you need to delete it, maybe I can guide you through it or answer any question you might have?

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you for the response, essentially I am completely new to this and don’t have any clue the processes needed for domain transfers or anything like that. I have a lot to learn!

  Thank you for the reply,
  Cory

  You are most welcome, Cory.

  The domain(subdomain) you are currently usinv ( grahamphysio.wordpress.com )
  cannot be moved to BlueHost or any other self-hosted website, but you can purchase a new one from the same provider you got the hosting. If you purchased it simultaneously with the hosting it will be automatically attached to your hosting package.
  If not, and you purchased the domain through another register, I would be glad to guide you through connecting it.

  Cheers
