Moving a blog
-
Hello,
I have a blog that uses word press (www.loveofblush.com) where I have purchased the domain name and is being hosted through orange geek. I need to cancel with them as host and would like to switch my blog to be hosted through word press (i believe premium). How do I go about doing all of this?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I need to cancel with them as host and would like to switch my blog to be hosted through word press
http://www.loveofblush.com is a self hosted WordPress.org site, not a WordPress.com site. This guide explains the differences:
Do you wish to move your self hosted WordPress.org site over to WordPress.com? And do you wish to keep using your domain on your new site?
Once I know more I’ll be happy to point you in the right direction!

Hi thank you for the response! I’m starting to understand this a little better. Yes that is what I wish, to move my self hosted site to wordpress.com while keeping the same domain name, http://www.loveofblush.com that I purchased already. How do I move forward?

Please read: Monetize Your Site https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/
The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains that have enough traffic to qualify for acceptance into the plan.

Hi,
Yes that is what I wish, to move my self hosted site to wordpress.com while keeping the same domain name
We have a guide which explains the process of moving your self hosted WordPress.org site to WordPress.com:

If you would like to use your domain (loveofblush.com) you will need to “map” it to your site:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan (such as the Personal plan) on your site in order to map a domain. Each paid plan comes with a free domain credit you can use to map a domain you already own (or register a new one).
also am i still able to use adsense on wordpress.com
Google AdSense is not permitted on WordPress.com. WordAds is the official WordPress.com advertising program available for site owners. There is more information about monetizing your site on this support document:
Let me know if you have any questions.
