  I started my business website using the free wordpress.com, and just now I paid for hosting through HostGator and installed WordPress. I don’t want to transfer what I have worked on so to the hosted site. Can I delete my free account, or will that mess up things going forward with the paid hosting. The email address and domain being used is the same ones I used to set up the free account.

  Thank you so much for your assistance!

  hi,

  I see that you have deleted your site already.
  It won’t interfere with your Hostgator arrangement.

  Let us know if you have more questions.

  Hi there,

  Since your WordPress.com account is not connected to your new site it’s safe to delete it by following these instructions:

  Close Your Account

  You can, however, leave it inactive in case you want to use again sometime in the future.
