Moving My Bed Bug Products Website from WordPress.org to WordPress.com

    Hi everyone,

    I currently manage a website in Australia the best bed bug products, and it’s built on WordPress.org. However, the ongoing costs—such as plugins, hosting, and services—are becoming too expensive.

    A WordPress.com expert freelancer suggested that WordPress.com is a better option, but I’m not sure about the exact benefits. I’d love some guidance on:

    1. How to import my site from WordPress.org to WordPress.com while keeping all content, design, and functionality intact.
    2. Why WordPress.com might be a better choice—Is it really more cost-effective and easier to manage?
    3. Are there any limitations compared to WordPress.org that I should be aware of?

    If anyone has experience with this migration or has insights on the pros and cons of WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org, I’d really appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance!

    Hello @engrkhanzebkha

    We offered managed WordPress hosting on our robust platform. We take care of backups, plugin updates, security screening, and more. You can read more about what we offer and compare that to your current service, here: https://wordpress.com/support/choose-a-host/

    While there are some plugins that are incompatible with our platform (more about that here: https://wordpress.com/support/plugins/incompatible-plugins/ ), a WordPress.com site with a WordPress.com Business plan is pretty comparable to a self-hosted WordPress.org site on other hosting services. You can read more about the difference between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress.org sites here: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    When it comes to moving your site over to WordPress.com, we can migrate the site over to our platform if it meets some fairly basic requirements and it should run pretty smoothly on WordPress.com. You can read more about our free migration service here: https://wordpress.com/support/request-a-free-migration/

    Does this answer your questions?
