Hi there,
Wanted to know the fee charged when the site hosting is transferred from Word Press to another host of my choice.
There should be no charges to transfer a site hosted on WordPress.com to another host. Here’s a guide on moving a WordPress.com site to a self-hosted WordPress site.
Also, if and when i add widget plug ins to my site from Word Press, do they transfer out with my built site also?
You can only export the content (posts, pages, categories, and tags) from the WordPress.com site and to be imported to your new site. For themes, plugins and other customization, you’re required to install and configure again on your new site.
By the way, your account was created 3 days ago so if you’re referring to transferring a self-hosted site to another host, you should check with your current hosting provider if they incur any charges on transferring your site.
See the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress here:
