Transferring my domain site
-
Hi, I already have a domain & website hosted by NTI.net – http://www.nostalgiapress.com is my site. However, currently it is not showing secure lock & host company can’t help–I’ve used the program ‘Contribute’ to manage it. Should I transfer or map to WordPress–and can I keep my templates? Thanks!

Hi there,
It really depends on how much you’re currently paying for hosting. Whether you map or transfer your existing domain, you will need to purchase a WordPress.com plan. The difference is who you want to host your domain. If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, we’ll manage the domain. You’ll pay for the mapping and the plan here (domain is included within the plan price for the first year).

But, if you keep the domain at your current host and map the domain to WordPress.com, you current host will continue to manage the domain and you’ll need to pay them for hosting your domain.

For more information about domain, please visit our support page:
As far as keeping your templates, that will not be possible because the current site isn’t a WordPress site. You will most likely have to manually move your content (copy+paste) from your current site over to WordPress.com. You can check out some themes that we provide here:
Thanks!
