  I’m also interested, and is it possible for your current followers to be transferred to the upgraded site?

  Thanks so much.

  This support document spells out the pro upgrade bundle.

  I have already a Domain and a Hosting Party compatable to WordPress. What discounts will I get from the Bundle if I want the rest of the service?

  If you have hosting somewhere other than WP.com, the upgrade does you no good; it only applies to blogs hosted at Wp.com.

  Even a Linus server with MySql 5.0 , PHP 5.3, 5.1 and downloaded WordPress software 3.4.1?

  Thanks a lot for your reply. If I have the Domain what refund do I get and what is the cost of transferring the Domain to WP.com?

  The cost of mapping an external domain to WordPress.com is $13 a year.

  I do not understand why you want to move to WP.com to buy the bundle when you already have a blog that has all these capabilities already at no additional cost at all.

  With my existing Domain and Server can I purchase a Premium Theme from WP.com and use it. Can you recommend a website theme which has at least Log-in, Forum, Gallery, and various Topics?

  @larry888
  Premium themes are adpated to run on wordpress.com software only and are only available only for free hosted wordpress.com blogs. Please read this so your are clear on the differences > WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Do an internet search for the premium theme name you are looking for such as “theme name wordpress theme” (replacing “theme name” with the name of the theme) and you will likely find the theme is available from the theme author directly.
