    Good Evening,
    I am looking to migrate from my web host to host my blog at wordpress, and I have a few questions.

    With the business plan that supports a shopping site do you have an SSL cert to secure the blog?
    Can I transfer my domain registration over as well?
    If I have my own theme, can it be imported or do I have to use one of the stock themes?

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

    1.The first step is to join your new host.
    2.At this point, you should have hosts accounts with to your two hosting providers.
    3.we may be transfer to your entire site and then file data over free of charge!
    4.After the your have a your copy to site on this both of hosting accounts, it is time to change your domain name’s DNS.

    Hi @tecmjl1981 ,

    We do not allow custom theme uploads, but the ones at wordpress.com/themes are flexible if you don’t already have your custom theme created.

    Your cart would be SSL secured, however it wouldn’t be a private SSL certificate for your custom domain.

    And, at this time we don’t accept incoming domain transfers, but you would be welcome to choose another registrar then point the domain here.

    You would still be welcome to move your site to a WordPress.org installation at another provider. More info here: http://get.wp.com

    I hope that helps!
