    Hello, I recently bought a domain through godaddy. I just finished setting up my website and realized they dont have the blog layouts that i would like. Instead of starting completely over, i was wondering if its possible to transfer my entire website over, including how it looks, design, pictures, content, etc.?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Howdy –

    Thanks for getting in touch. Yes, you can import that site on to WordPress.com, and get your domain connected too.

    When you purchase the annual plan, vs paying monthly, you also get access to our live chat team for real-time assistance when needed.

    On the business plan you can use a plugin to move the current site over. Otherwise, with the other plans, you can import the content and customize your new theme by following these steps.

    No matter where your site is now, you can move it to WordPress.com. This page will help you find the steps to take to migrate a site to WordPress.com. If you know what kind of site you’d like to import, click the menu option to the right to jump to that section. Self-Hosted WordPress.org Site If you have a site with another WordPress host, or a local development/staging site, you can move

    WordPress.com is a managed environment. This means that we handle all the back end details of the site. Things like back ups, updates, security, spam, seo, ssl, mobile optimization, top notch hosting specs, and sorting out any errors or bugs that pop up along the way. When you run a stand alone WordPress installation, like what y’all have set up, then all of those details fall on to you – so instead of being able to focus on content you spend a ton of time and frustration fixing these sort of issues.

    We also support custom email solutions. It’s an affordable way to build trust with your audience / customers / clients while also enhancing your overall brand and online presence.

    Write back with any more questions. We stay close by and are happy to help.
