upgrade account
-
Hi, if I build a xxxx.wordpress.com (free) site then want to upgrade it to xxxx.com (paid site) – still within WordPress – is that possible without having to re-load content? Can the site be transferred straight across?

If you purchase a domain name/domain mapping upgrade all that changes is the URLs. Your content stays exactly where it is now. Only the address changes.

Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading
https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingIn order to map to a domain URL one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the new domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the new domain URLs.
