  Hi there,

  You can move your WordPress.org page to WordPress.com by following the steps outlined in this support article: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-wordpress-org

  1. Register a WordPress.com account and blog at http://wordpress.com/signup/ if you don’t have a WordPress.com account yet.

  2. In the old blog, go to Tools → Export and download the XML (WXR) file to your computer.

  3. In the new blog (on WordPress.com), go to Tools → Import → WordPress and upload the file you downloaded in step 2. After you upload the file, you can choose the option to Download & import file attachments if you want to move your media files.

  If you have a custom domain you can map it to your WP.com blog with the Domain Mapping upgrade. You will need this in order to make it work: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
