Query about my wordpress.com website
-
Hi, I need help in concern with my website. I have created website using ‘wordpress.com’ with ‘free’ plan.
I am going to host this website on Godaddy webhost. Now I want to know, how can I take this same website with all the data to the new host .The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello @sharwari05!
You can export your site data (posts, media, etc.) from your Settings > Export page. From there you can most likely import it into your new site if it is compatible.
To be safe, though, don’t delete your WordPress.com site until you know the export/import process has worked!
For more information check out this support doc: Export
Hope this helps!

Thank you! I am exporting the data from the website sharnitheblogger.wordpress.com but I will be importing it to the new host with “new domain name” will it work? Or do I need to use same domain name?

The export function exports your data, which is not dependent on the domain name. So if you are starting a new self-hosted WordPress site, for example, you could use the “Import” feature to pull in your WordPress.com export file, and your posts and pages would be loaded in as posts and pages on the new site.
If your new site is built with something other than WordPress, be sure to check with your hosting provider to ensure you can import your data.
And, if you need your images or other media files from this site, be sure to use the Media Export as well!
Best of luck with your new site!
