  Hi All
  I have a Domain http://www.chocolatebones.co.uk which is a wordpress only site which i pay quite a lot for to be hosted but use non of the tools and help available.

  Can i move http://www.chocolatebones back to wordpress.com and pay extra so i keep my http://www.chocolatebones.co.uk name?

  I suppose I just need a wordpress blog that is looked after by wordpress.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Thanks
  Kev

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Kev, sure. It depends on what features you need to keep, but we have a few options for importing a site to our services:
  https://wordpress.com/support/import/

  If you’re looking to lower costs, I’d recommend just importing your content, and choosing a different theme here. You can make adjustments to your theme and get everything the way you want.

  Then when you’re ready, you can connect your domain:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  The domain will work perfectly here. Just note you’ll need to keep renewing the registration itself through another provider, at least at this point.

  Let us know if you have more questions!
