  Hey there @mediaesgd, you can export your files and content like so, and import the content using the WordPress importer. You’ll have the media files just in case you need to upload any manually, but the importer should get most of them.

  Your theme is older, but if you want to keep it you can download that here. And I recommend installing and connecting Jetpack to retain the same functionality, but it’s up to you. When everything is set up as you’d like, it, you can change the domain’s settings to point to your new host, or transfer the registration. Let us know if you need more help!

  Oh, I should add you’ll need to be logged in as the domain owner to update those settings and migrate any followers or request a Jetpack stats merge. You’ll need to use the other account. Let us know if you need more help!
