  Hello,

  I’ve been using WordPress since 2006, but recently I started thinking of porting my wordpress.com blog to my own domain.

  Essentially what I want to do is to map my current acidmartin.wordpress.com domain to wemakesites.net/blog and also to be able to run Google Ads on wemakesites.net/blog. Is it possible, and which paid option should I choose?

  Kind regards,

  Martin

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

  Hi Martin,

  You won’t be able to map your blog to a directory on your domain.

  If you’re looking to run Google Ads, you will have to use the self-hosted WordPress.org software. This will have the added advantage of letting you place your blog in a directory. However, you’ll need to host and manage the blog yourself.

  Here’s a support article that explains how you may go about moving your blog:
