  hi,

  No, your site will not be down.

  To transfer your entire self-hosted site to WordPress.com, please see:
  https://transferto.wordpress.com/

  Please note that you will only be able to transfer your content, not your theme or plugins.

  Hi moonmother1,

  The documentation @kosiew linked to is a great starting point if you are thinking of moving a self hosted site to WordPress.com:

  https://transferto.wordpress.com/

  Will my site be down for any length of time?

  Content can be exported, then imported into the new site on WordPress.com while the current site remains active and working. You can also choose a theme and customise it here without those changes having any effect on the one you are already using.

  Once everything is how you want it, the domain can be mapped or transferred to WordPress.com.

  I’m happy to answer any questions you have.
