switch for iPage to wordpress.com to host my blog domain
-
I am frustrated at trying to make Jetpack work in customizing my blog. It doesn’t seem to have some of the features that automatically come when registering with WordPress.com.
I have spent hours trying to get the look i want and still it isn’t working. Like Jetpack doesn’t seem to have the capability to include a ‘like’ button in the comments section.
Is it possible to switch my domain apathofvulnerability.com from being hosted by iPage to it being hosted by WordPress.com? -
Jetpack is a super plugin that provides what we have here at WordPress.COM to WordPress.ORG users.
Some JetPack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/
Others are in the JetPack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack
Note: If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.org, click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post there.However, if you can’t find help at either one then you can file a JetPack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

Yes. You can export and import your content into a wordpress.com blog after you register one http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-wordpress-org
WordPress.com provides free blogs and free hosting for them. WordPress.com does not accept domain name transfers but mapping to an existing domain can be done.
Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.
Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

I find the Jetpack support site one of the most frustrating and unhelpful sites i’ve ever been to. I have gotten nowhere with the question of placing a like button on the comment page and there is no one to contact. the contact us link goes back to the generic support page with multiple questions. It just goes around in circles. Not helpful at all
I regret setting up my site in this way. It has been a major headache. I just want it to be user friendly and i am not finding this to be the case with using Jetpack -
