  I have a wordpress.org blog http://www.buenviajesocialclub.com which is giving me some problems with the CPU load, despite not using many plugins or widgets, despite having changed the Theme a few ocassions, I keep receiving warnings from my hosting company every now and then.

  I was wondering if it is possible to move from wordpress.org to wordpress.com keeping my domain. I assume I would need to change the theme which is not a problem. I think a wordpress.com can perfectly cover my needs at the moment, I m just getting 100 visitors per day on average and I haven t got any adverstisements yet.

  And also, can a wordpress.com be transfered into a wordpress.org? Thank you for your help

  Hi. First of all, I think it would be wise to familiarize yourself with the differences between WordPress.ORG and WordPress.COM:

  If you want to move your blog, here’s how to do it (and yes, you can move in both directions):

  Yes, you can have your own domain name with a WordPress.COM blog. Here’s how:

  can a wordpress.com be transfered into a wordpress.org?

  Yes. Only the content and the blogroll links can be moved by exporting and importing. The theme, plugins and widgets cannot be moved. If you have text widgets you need to copy and paste the data to transfer it into the text widgets here on the wordpress.com blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-wordpress-org
