  Hello,

  I want to move my existing business website ( http://www.tradeinmotion.ca) to WordPress as my host. Also, I want to know the themes I can select for this website. How can I do this?

  Hi there,

  The first thing to do may be to decide which version of WordPress.com you want to use. If you use the Premium or Business versions then additional themes and a custom domain are included. See here for more details on the different plans: https://store.wordpress.com/plans/

  If you decide you want to use the free plan, you can purchase a domain mapping upgrade individually to map your domain to WordPress.com (note the domain cannot actually be transferred as WordPress.com does not accept incoming domains, but the mapping accomplishes using a WordPress site on that domain): https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  If you need to carry over anything from your existing site, you can import functionality from other platforms using the instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  You can find a list of available themes here: https://theme.wordpress.com/

  If you have any questions with any of that let me know. Happy migration!
