  I currently have the $100/year subscription to wordpress.com but i would like to transfer to the self hosting in wordpress.org. Since it is cheaper, can I make the switch and apply my payment to the wordpress.org costs?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I can issue a refund for you WordPress.com Premium plan, but it won’t transfer directly to a WordPress.org site.

  Just respond back to confirm that you’d like the refund!

  Hi there!

  I’ve refunded your $99 WordPress.com Premium upgrade. Please note, it normally takes around a week for a refund to appear on your bank statement.

  Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with!
