  Hello,

  I’d like some help to move a big site 11 years-old with 38 Gb storage to wordpress.com. I’ve found some instructions on official help database, however I’m not sure whether we can follow them move it without lose data.

  Thanks,

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

  Hey @avatardomodices,

  You can follow the instructions from this article to move your self-hosted site to here at WordPress.com

  Also, I have added “modlook” tag so a staff member can take a look for you.

  Hope the info helps :)

  Howdy avatardomodices,

  Yes, you can do this. The import files are going to need to be split up in to multiple parts though.

  See here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

  Read through the step-by-step instructions here and then write back to me with any other questions that come up before you get started.
