  Hi there,

  If you want to move to WordPress.org, you can keep your domain registered through us and just change the nameservers once you determine your new host. Since you purchased WordPress.com Premium, the other upgrades would not transfer over to WordPress.org so I can provide you a partial refund of $66, so that you can cancel everything except for the domain.

  As for the premium theme, it doesn’t apply to WordPress.org sites either, so I can provide you a full refund of that as well.

  Just reply to confirm these changes, and I can take care of this for you.

  Also, just for reference, this guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:
