  I have recently switched to WP.org and I do not like the self-hosted format plus I don’t have the time to work with it. My WP.com subscription is up for renewal soon. Is there anyway I can switch back. I understand I will be out the money withWP.org and Bluehost but would really like to move my site back to WP.com. Is this possible and if so how do I do this.

  I want to have WP.com have my classoncreations.com domain.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sure! You basically do the same thing you did to move to self hosted. :)

  It looks like you’ve got a site here already with that domain linked to it, so you can probably just export your current site and import it into that same WordPress.com site. WordPress will avoid duplicate posts, so that shouldn’t be a problem. Then, make any change you want to your design.

  The last step would be to head back into your domain manager and change your name servers back to WordPress.com. You can do this here:

  https://classoncreations.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Under Name Servers, select the toggle for WordPress.com servers and save your changes.

  Let me know if I can help further!

  I did not add any new posts to the WP.org site so can I just go to the last step and change the name server back to WP.com.

  Thank you
