Someone has been renewing my website since she created it and she has been doing a good work. Now I want to start renewing it yearly by myself. What do I do and what information/s do I need from her to be able to renew my website myself. The hosting platform is INMOTION hosting.
Thanks

Hi honiekaren,
Can you send a link to the site you wish to renew? It sounds like it isn’t hosted by WordPress.com but I can point you in the right direction :)

That website is not with us on WordPress.com. It looks like your domain is registered with web4africa.net, so please contact them directly for help with this.

Thank you for your help but when I open my website it always shows me a WordPress logo and inside everything is on WordPress site.
So please can you explain a little more to me what you mean by the website is not registered with WordPress.com.
Thanks -
my website it always shows me a WordPress logo and inside everything is on WordPress site.
honiekaren.com was created using the self hosted version of WordPress, WordPress.org. There is some information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:
This is why you are seeing a WordPress logo even though the site is not hosted by us :)

Please what can I do for my site to be hosted directly by WordPress.com without losing my domain name http://www.honiekaren.com and also to be able to renew yearly without a middleman.

Hi there,
To transfer both your domain and your site to WordPress.com you’ll need to follow this step-by-step guide:

Thanks but I want to know if I have to pay and how much it cost.
Secondly, I am not a web developer or an expert when it comes to the website but I do get by,
by doing things myself and with plugins, uploads, creating pages post etc.
Do I need an expert to do it or can I do it myself?
I believe I can do it but just a little scared not to spoil anything in my site.
Please, let me know.
Lastly, do I need any password from the person that helped me to create the website?
I only have the password to log into my website like ADMIN and XXXXX as the password.
Thanks -

honiekaren –

A plan upgrade will be required to move a custom domain over to us at WordPress.com. You can map the domain or transfer it. That’s up to you. Here are the plan features and details in a side-by-side comparison: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
Do I need an expert to do it or can I do it myself?
Nope. The DIY approach is manageable. Follow the guide here:

Hello, I discussed with my account holder and she gave me all the information I need to transfer my website and to manage it myself. She gave me the cPanel name and password, EPP keys and admin name and password. Pls, can you tell me how to proceed? What can I do next? I intend to still keep my domain name http://www.honiekaren.com
And I also want to host it with PERSONAL plan
I will surely appreciate your help.
Thanks -
@honiekaren no problem.
You likely won’t need the cPanel username and password, but you will need your password for wp-admin (don’t post it here though; we won’t need it and neither will the public).
First, go ahead and start a site with the personal plan:
https://wordpress.com/startYou can add the plan. You can skip the part about the domain until after your content is moved here.
Then, log into your old site in wp-admin. Go to tools > export, and you’ll want to export everything.
When you have that file, let us know and we’ll help you continue on to the next step.
Or if you want to go at your own pace, this will help:
