    I have a blog hosted by another company (iPower), with a domain name I bought from them. I would like to transfer both to WordPress, but don’t know how to do it.
    Is there some way to have it done for me? (Site backed up, site transferred, and domain name transferred (kittykroger.com)?
    How much would it cost to get both transferred, and what would the yearly fee be from WordPresss?

    Re: importing content see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
