  Hi!

  i have a self-hosted wordpress site and am considering porting it to wordpress.com. With around 40,000 articles, it is very large and complex. Is the? If so, can I take over all my data/scripts (PHP)/themes…?

  Best Regards

  Thomas

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hey Thomas,

  You need to have the pro membership to have your own custom theme/php code(from ftp only) and to add your domain here. I’m sure the content is not a problem as long as you are not using any incompatible plugins or using codes that are not allowed.

  Please take a look here at https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-an-entire-wordpress-site/
  and

  Also, right now, the highest storage quota is 50GB so, if your website exceeds the given quota, I don’t think you will be able to transfer here since storage-add-ons are not here(the add-on is being worked at currently).
