  Hi guys,

  I decided to switch from wordpress.com to wordpress.org and chose a webhost (HostGator). I tried to install wordpress.org through QuickInstall, but whenever I want to login they sene me to my wordpress.com dashboard.

  I already bought a domain name from wordpress.com sometime last year, maybe that’s the problem?

  Thanks in advance for answering! :)

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

  Hi @dazilgirl ,

  Here are the instructions to move your domain from WordPress.com over to HostGator: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/

  You can use Guided Transfer to move your site over to WordPress.org.

  If you are more of a DIY-type person, here are the step by step instructions: https://move.wordpress.com/

  For further help with WordPress.org post to their support site at http://wordpress.org/support/
