  Hello there,

  You can follow the steps in this link to move your content over to WordPress.com: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/view-all/ .

  Then connect your domain name from your old site to your new WordPress.com site with domain mapping . You will also require a paid plan to proceed with the domain mapping: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Hope this helps :)
