  I do have a website which has already been hosted, but we wish to improve and change its outlook by using the WordPress. Since I am not an IT person, I need to understand whether, the already hosted website can have by purchasing the Premium Domain. Or you do advise to get it hosted through WordPress also

  Inayat

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

  Hi there,

  thanks for reply.

  Its http://www.mustashaar.com

  I checked your site using two sources –
  1) http://www.whois.com/whois/mustashaar.com
  2) https://builtwith.com/mustashaar.com

  I see your website is self hosted and uses ASP.net (not WordPress).

  If you wish to convert that site into a WordPress site on the same host (not on WordPress.COM), then it gets slightly technical. Read more about it here –

  You’ll need a bit of IT skills to run a self hosted WordPress site or you’ll need to hire someone who can take care of that stuff. It’s not super complicated but it can be complex if you are new to this kind of stuff.

  But if you’re not much of an IT person then I would suggest you to create a site on WordPress.COM, example XYZ.wordpress.com

  And then map your existing domain ABC.com to XYZ.wordpress.com, this way people visiting ABC.com will see XYZ.wordpress.com

  I hope this helps in someway :)
