  Howdy –

  Since your site is using a third party hosting company this means that you’re set up with a stand alone WordPress installation rather than using us at WordPress.com.

  Help with the installation comes via https://wordpress.org/support/

  Alternatively, contact your hosting provider. We can’t assist with that question here.

  Are you saying WordPress will Host this Website?
  How much does it charge?
  I wish I could just Transfer from Hostinger direct to WordPress Hosting.

  Hi Robert –

  This is a bit confusing. I am going to try and explain it better. There are 2 versions of WordPress.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  On WordPress.com, your hosting is included with your plan upgrade. There is not an additional hosting fee. That is renewed once per year. The options and features are on this page for comparison: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  You will need to connect your domain to WordPress.com through mapping or a direct transfer.
  1. mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  2. https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Does that help?
