    Hi there!

    Sure! We’ll be happy to assist!

    Can you tell me more about your existing site? For example, what themes and plugins are you using?

    I ask because you can choose different WordPress.com plans based on your site needs. If your site doesn’t rely on any specific plugins and you’re flexible with the theme you use, you can choose either the WordPress.com Personal or Premium plan.

    Alternatively, if your site requires specific themes or plugins, the WordPress.com Business plan will give you everything you need.

    The process of migrating an entire site will be the following:

    1. Choose a paid plan: https://wordpress.com/pricing – This will guide you through creating a new site.
    2. Once the new site has been created, follow this guide to import everything from your existing site: https://wordpress.com/en/support/import/import-an-entire-wordpress-site/
    3. When everything looks good on your imported site, the last step is transferring and configuring your domain to work on your WordPress.com site. Here’s how to transfer your domain to WordPress.com.

    The domain transfer is the last step because it’s a good idea to ensure the site’s content has been migrated properly before transferring or pointing the domain to your WordPress.com site.
