sites server
-
I am trying to build a site for a conference that my University will host. The question is can we use our own server to host the site?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
You absolutely can! The files that make WordPress go may be found here:
https://wordpress.org/download/
There is a lot of very helpful documentation on that page to help you with the installation.There are many differences between content hosted here at WordPress.COM and self hosted content like what you are asking about. Many of those differences are discussed in this document:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_vs_WordPress.comShould you run into problems, there are forums and support documentation like what you found here at WordPress.COM over at:
https://wordpress.org/support/
You need to create a login for WordPress.ORG to access them. Handy hint, you can use the same one you used here, just need to type it in again!Hope this got you pointed in the right direction! More questions on this would be better answered over at WordPress.ORG.
best,

hello David and thank you for your answer.
I’m new to this and I am not sure I got it right. We would like to use a wordpress template but want to use our own domain name (100.arch.ntua.gr address) and host the content to our server. Is this possible?

Hello
You already have pages hosted here at WordPress.com. You can add almost any content you want to your site. That would be the simplest option for youIf you want to have a domain name point to your site, you can certainly purchase a domain upgrade and have it point to your 100archntua.wordpress.com site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/all-about-domains/ and
https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/ will help you do this.I believe we have this figured out now! If you have more questions feel free to ask.

No WordPress.COM themes that are licensed designed, and/or adapted for use only on wordpress.COM hosted sites can be transferred to any wordpress.ORG software installs hosted on your own server, so be clear on that please. The two run on different software.
If you wish to have your site hosted by wordpress.COM and your purchase an upgrade for mapping to an existing domain using the domain with the extension you posted above Staff will have to add a zone record.
