  I have a WordPress based web page that was hosted by host gator. I quit them. How do I retrieve my page and start with WordPress hosting?

  re: purchasing WordPress.COM upgrades

  If you are migrating from a self hosted WordPress.ORG site to WordPress.COM please see: Moving from a Self-Hosted WordPress to WordPress.com

  Otherwise see: Importing Content from Another Platform

  Import a Website

  WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/
