  Hello everyone,

  A few years ago I created my blog with wordpress.com, recently I bought a .com domain through the premium wordpress.com plan.

  Now I want to have full custody of my site but maintain the same domain which I bought through wordpress.com

  What I’ve to do?

  I already exported the xml file and the media rar.

  Thanks guys

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

  Hi! You can either choose to direct the domain towards your chosen host (and keep it registered here so renewals are paid here), or you could transfer the domain away to your chosen host.

  We have information for both options:
