  I am transferring my site to another ISP and need the following info:

  * IP Address
  * Connecting Port

  Where can I find this info, or who do I contact?

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to transfer an entire WordPress.com site to another host using the method you’re trying to use. This is because WordPress.com sites aren’t stand-alone WordPress installations, but sites on a massive multisite network using our own modified version of the WordPress software. So the site files, theme files, and database tables themselves cannot be migrated.

  The only way to move a WordPress.com site elsewhere is by exporting the content as a standard WordPress export file, and then importing it via the dashboard of a new WordPress installation at your new host.
