    worpress.com to wordpress.org
    My above site works really well with thousands of hits every day. I am nt familiar with html or any other program language, so, the wordpress.com site works really well for me allowing me to post, add images and so on with ease.
    However, I would like to add some plugins and ads. I am aware that wordpress.org doe this.
    1. Firstly, can I transfer what I have without loosing all my stats, data etc
    2. If it is yes, can I operate the new wordpress.org site as easily as the .com?
    3. How do I go about it is possible
    Appreciate your help.

    Hi there,

    1. Firstly, can I transfer what I have without loosing all my stats, data etc

    Yes, you can move your site and all it’s data. This guide explains your options for moving to a self-hosted WordPress site: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

    If you are at all uncomfortable with moving a site yourself, our guided transfer service is also well worth considering, as everything is handled for you for a low one-time fee: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

    Yu will also want to install the Jetpack plugin on your self-hosted WordPress site. It will add a most of the features you enjoy here, and that includes stats, followers, etc. Once you have Jetpack connected with your user account here, stats can be migrated seamlessly, for example.

    You can learn more about Jetpack here: http://jetpack.me/

    2. If it is yes, can I operate the new wordpress.org site as easily as the .com?

    Other than hosting and backup (which we take care of for you here) the experience of operating your site is pretty much the same. You may want to consider the following hosting recommendations from the WordPress.org website: http://wordpress.org/hosting/

    For backup, VaultPress will give you the same level of protection that you enjoy here: http://vaultpress.com/

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
