    Hi there, it depends on exactly what you are going to be moving. You can export the data from the local installation and import it into a site here at WordPress.com. If you are talking about also bringing over something like a theme that you may have made or customized, that would be more difficult, but can be done. For the theme, it would require that you have the WordPress.com Business plan upgrade which allows the use of plugins and themes from outside of WordPress.com.

    If you have developed a complete site that is all ready to go, then what might be better would be to self-host a WordPress installation on a different hosting service. For more on that, do a google search for something like this moving localhost wordpress to server.

    For questions on localhost installs and self-hosted sites, the place you want to seek help is at https://wordpress.org/support/.

    The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
