  I have just signed up for hosting with an external site and would like to migrate my blog to the new site. I have been talking to someone at the new site and they advised me to ask if it is possible to migrate my WordPress site to a cPanel hosting account.

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

  Hello @moonunitalpha
  You can follow the steps given here to migrate your site to self-hosted wordpress.org: https://move.wordpress.com/

  Or else, you can buy the guided transfer which comes at $129.00 per blog transferred.

  What does guided transfer include?
  • Installing the WordPress software at your choice of one of our recommended hosts.
  • Transferring over the content from your WordPress.com site.
  • Installing and configuring Jetpack and a few other plugins to provide features that you have been using on WordPress.com.
  • Configuring and testing permissions so that you’ll be able to have one-click installs and upgrades.
  • Switching your domain(s) name server settings to point over to the new site.
  • Answering questions and providing guidance for you on your new WordPress installation for a two week period.

  More information about the guided transfer can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

  Hope these help 🙂
