  Hi there – before we pass you those details, could you let us know if the site you have now is a WordPress site?

  And could you pass us the URL of the site as well? Thanks!

  Thanks for the details!

  I’m not sure you would be able to transfer the content of your site – does your host give you the possibility to download it as an XML file?

  If not, you may need to create your site from scratch here, on WordPress.com. You will be able to map or transfer your domain.

  If you map it, your domain will stay with the current registrar and you’ll need to go to their site to manage anything domain related.

  If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, we’ll be your new registrar. This way you’ll manage everything from one place and you’ll be able to reach support with any domain related-issues :)
