  Hi there,

  Where is your site currently hosted? Is it a WordPress site? If so, in order to move your content from another host to WordPress.com, please visit our support pages on exporting and importing your content. Let me know if you have any questions.

  If your domain is also currently at the same host, you can follow the instructions on our support page to transfer your domain over:

  Thanks!

  Hi Darnell,

  Yes, it is a wordpress site, currently hosting at DigitalOcean, but I think I’ll move it to the wordpress.com’s cloud.

  Excellent, you can move the site over following this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

  As for the domain, we have two options:

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/
