  I am new here (today), and please excuse the double posting. I posted this question in the Staff Answers area, but they are gone until next week. Possibly someone knows the answer here.

  How can I simply ftp my HTML web page up to my new WordPress server site ?
  I type my own HTML pages.
  I want to transfer all my domain files (www.davesjournal.net) to your host server, and upload new HTML pages from my computer to yours.
  I do not want to use one of your themes.
  I just paid for Premium service. All I need is your ftp server name, my own ID and password. I will ftp my own stuff to you.

  Thanks for any help. If this is not possible, I have to cancel my new WordPress account.

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

  http://www.davesjournal.net/ is not hosted by WordPress.COM. And, there is no FTP access to any WordPress.COM blogs like http://davesjournaldotnet.wordpress.com/ To migrate content into a WordPress.COM blog you must have an XML export file. HTML sites cannot be exported and imported.

  I do not want to use one of your themes.

  The only themes we can use on WordPress.com blogs like your blog are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  Relevant support docs:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. If you want FTP access and to install plugins or third party themes into a site then you will have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install.

  That is not possible.

  Provided you are logged in under the same username account that registered the blog and purchased the upgrades, you ought to be able to request a refund from your dashboard > Store > My Upgrades

  WordPress.com provides a 30-day refund on all upgrades except Domain Registrations, Domain Renewals, and Guided Transfers.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/upgrades/#refunds
  Note: It takes from 1 – 2 weeks for the refund to be received.

  To disable autorenew, provided you are logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased the upgrades go to > Store > My Upgrades and click the “disable auto-renew” link.

  Thank you very much for your time and the answer.
  It’s not what I wanted to hear, but at least the cards are on the table, and I appreciate that very much.
