  Hello,
  Does moving a website from another server to WordPress also require a change of server?

  Hi there,

  Yes, it does, because if you move a website to us, it will then be hosted on our servers, not on the server where you used to host it.

  Can you give more details on exactly what you’re trying to do? Then I might be able to give you a more precise answer.

  hello

  I have my page on the free server of the Github.
  I created it with MOBIRISE. I wanted to do seo now and was advised to host the site on WordPress. Do I have to pay for it on WP?

  Greetings
  Thomas

  Hi Thomas,

  Mobirise is a drag-and-drop website builder, so you’ll have to follow the guide we have created for such cases. Here it is:

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

  So I have to rebuild my site on Wprdpress and copy the contents. Then my site is hosted on the server of WP. I also get a new www address? Is there an option of a free server on WordPress?

  When creating a site on WordPress.com, you will need to register a free subdomain, like one ending with .wordpress.com. This subdomain is free and if you won’t register a custom domain or upgrade your plan, you can keep your site here for free.

  Here’s more details about domains:
