  Hi there,

  You can find the options for migrating your existing site to WordPress.com here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

  If you wish to migrate the entire site, including your current theme and plugins, you’ll need our Business Plan.

  Else you can migrate your site content only (posts, pages, media files) using the standard WordPress export/import process.

  Thanks for your reply, let me clarify, if I were to get a wordpress premium business plan $8 per month I would be able to migrate my entire existing website with themes & content to wordpress? If so and if I am not confident I can do this all on my own will I be able to get chat support to take me through the process? or am I relying entirely on the written instructions in the link you sent?
  Thanks
