  Hi there,

  I am planning to transfer a site to WordPress for hosting. How do I do this in a way that retains it’s look, content and web address?

  All advice on this is greatly welcomed!

  Hi there! Would you be able to tell us what platform your site uses at the moment? That’ll help us better suggest how to help you migrate the content over. If you’d like to share a little more about what you’re hoping to do with the site we’re happy to answer questions/make suggestions for what you may find useful.

  In general it’s worth knowing that we do have a WordPress-specific migration option, for sites that use the WordPress software already, and that need to keep using plugins:

  We do also have a Built by WordPress.com service that you may find handy if you’d like to minimise the time you spend on migrating the site in – there are two options depending on your needs and the complexity of the site! You can find out more about them here:
