Purchasing domain from wordpress and then moving
-
Hello,
I am interested in purchasing a domain from wordpress for $17 a year. My question was, if I wanted to eventually no longer use the wordpress blog, but keep the domain, would that be possible?
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, absolutely. I’m doing that myself on lolebrity.net.
Word to the wise: Do not buy ANY upgrades when staff are not on duty. They’re taking hte long weekend off, so wait till they’re back to upgrade, just to make sure nothing goes wrong.

What you are purchasing is a domain name and domain mapping. So, for example you wish to hire a blog host and move your content into a wordpress.org install in the future – no problem. The domain mapping provides a seamless redirection for your visitors. No links will be broken.

I am not sure if question has been fully understood…what I was asking was: if for now I purchase the domain from wordpress and have the wordpress blog on the domain I have purchased, but later I wanted to have more control over the content or perhaps no longer have it in blog form, would I be able to do that?

As raincoaster said: “Yes, absolutely” :-)
Staff have provided instructions to do just that once you purchased the domain name through WordPress.com.
