  Why do I have to move my domain? It’s hosted by Network Solutions from whom I licensed WordPress.

  Hello,

  You don’t necessary need to move your domain to WordPress.com to use WordPress.com services. Its optional. You can opt to point your existing domain to WordPress.com too.

  Here is a link that explains how you can map an existing domain to WordPress.com:

  Also, since you mentioned that you got ‘licensed WordPress’ if that mean you are using WordPress from your domain/hosting provider, there is a possibility you are using self-hosted version of WordPress.

  Here is a link that can help understand the difference between the two:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I hope this is helpful, in case you have any further queries regarding this please feel free to reply to this thread.

  Regards,
