  Hey guys,

  I want to transfer my current hosted wordpress site to a wordpress site that I can install plugins. My url should remain the same. I don’t know a single thing. Can anyone help me please? Should I just go ahead and purchase the $99 package? Do I still need to buy a self-hosted site from blue host? Thanks!

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

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  And yes, you need to purchase hosting through a webhost. Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.

  Do NOT cancel your registered domain here at WordPress.com. Use these instructions to point it to your new webhost:
