  I want to move my blog to my own selfhosted web address and had hoped to use jetpack to keep my followers and wordpress.com functionality but unfortunately my hosting provider doesn’t accept jetpack access. I wondered if I could copy my blog to the new address without deleting my current blog to give me time to develop ne wfollowers and redirect my current ones?

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

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

  Thankyou for your reply – I actually should have asked if it is possible to make a copy of my site so that the original blog remains on wordpress.com but is copied to another site as well? Thankyou in advance for your help!
