  Good day!

  We are planning a WordPress migration from our own server TO wordpress.com

  Apparently this is possible?

  What do we need for this? Do we still have to purchase JETPACK for the old site? Or is that included when we book a business account?

  Thanks in advance.

  Thomas

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi Thomas,
  
  You can migrate your self-hosted WordPress.org site with all your plugins, theme & database if you purchase the Business plan for your WordPress.com-hosted website. You can follow the instructions here to have your entire website imported: https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-an-entire-wordpress-site/#import-from-self-hosted-word-press
  
  To do this migration, you don’t actually have to buy a Jetpack subscription on the old site.
  
  You can also connect/fully transfer your domain subscription over to WordPress.com once – or even before – the content migration is done: https://wordpress.com/support/domain-connection-vs-domain-transfer/

  Just adding that if you are purchasing the Business or eCommerce plan from the start, you can also use the All-in-One migration plugin. https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-using-all-in-one-migration/

  Hope that helps.
