  Hi,
  So far I have been linking my web address to my wordpress blog.

  Is it possible to take over my web address entirely to wordpress and use it for my existing blog?

  Thanks!

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

  Can you clarify what you want to do? Do you want to move to WordPress.org?

  Sorry if I have not been clear enough. I own a domain hosted by another web host. I also have a wordpress blog. So far I have been linking my wordpress blog to my domain, so people visiting my domain are automatically forwarded to my wordpress blog.

  Unfortunately, my web host has problems pretty frequently, i.e. servers are down, and I can’t send or receive e-mails through them, and the link to my WordPress blog does not work when they are down.

  So I wonder if it is possible to move my domain from my current web host to wordpress. Is that a bit clearer now?

  Map your domain name to your blog $ 13.- / year

  You have several options for email some cost / some don’t – you can also have a plain email forward for free
