  I would like some information about the possibilities to convert my wordpress.com blog into a real website with a .com adress.
  i read about domeins but i don’t realy read anything about converting you current website with the wordrpess theme you have chosen into a .com website.
  And how much will that cost?

  also is there otherwise a possibility to take the wordpress website with theme and host is some where else? (converted to a .com website ofcourse.)

  thank you for helping

  your sincerly annemarie

  If you’d like your website to look exactly like what you have now, but to have the address http://ceibaenergy.com (or something like that) then all you need to do is register and map that domain to your existing site. Here’s detailed information on how to do that:

  Register a New Domain

  If you buy and map the domain (which is what you would want to do, unless you already own the domain you want to use, the cost would be $18 per year.

  As for converting your site, there is no work to do at all. Everything stays exactly like it is, you would continue to maintain it exactly as you do now, the address you shared with people would just be different.

  If you decided you would rather have your site hosted somewhere else, here’s the process you would follow: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  Note there are some important differences between how sites hosted at WordPress.com work vs. self-hosted WordPress.org installs. Here’s an overview of that: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Does that answer your question??
