    Hi!

    I recently decided to move my site from Weebly to WordPress. I’m using hostgator as my host and am waiting for my domain to be transferred. Impatienty, I purchased a theme on my “wordpress.com” blog instead of waiting for my domain name to transfer to begin working on my site. Please help! I’m worried that I just wasted $65 dollars on a site that I won’t be blogging from.

    Thank you!

    Hi Kate,

    Are you using WordPress.org install hosted with Hostgator? If that is the case you would not need the Premium Theme on WordPress.com because those themes do not transfer over.

    To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

    Please reply to confirm and I can get you a refund if this is the case!
