  Switching a wordpress.org to wordpress.com

  paulayoumell.com is wordpress.org, started by my publisher, Balboa Press

  This site runs out in early April, 2014. I want to convert it to a wordpress.com site and take care of it myself. Is this possible?

  I may just renew the web address, paulayoumell.com and then link it to my wholefoodhealer.com that is hosted at wordpress.com.

  How would I do both of these?

  Thanks so much, Paula

  That’s definitely possible!

  We have a guide here for steps to move from WordPress.org to WordPress.com:

  To set up your domain, you’ll need to purchase Domain Mapping on your WordPress.com site and enter the domain paulayoumell.com. And you’ll need to change your nameservers to the following:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  If you’re not sure how, you’ll need to contact your registrar for assistance.

  You can read more about domain mapping here:

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!
