  I currently have .com domain but I was wanting to upgrade to .org without losing my current setup/subscribers, etc. How would I go about doing that?

  Hi there,

  Are you wanting to switch from a .com to a .org domain (i.e., example.com to example.org), or are you want to move from WordPress.com to a self-hosted WordPress.org site? Wanted to get clarification on that.

  Let me know, thanks!

  I should have clarified. I want to switch from a wordpress.com to wordpress.org.
