  I am interested to upgrade my existing neelkanth.wordpress.com (with additional domain http://uppermost.me) to your Value Bundle with guided transfer both at a discounted price of $208 presuming that it will permit me third party ads. I also presume that this shall be an automatic upgrade without requiring me to undergo any rigorous technical exercise as I am not a technical person at all. Please also confirm to me that after I purchase both of Value Bundle and guided transfer, I shall readily get my upgraded version handy for instant operation. Your reply will enable me to purchase both these items forthwith. My sincere thanks. My email address is (email visible only to moderators and staff).

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  If you would like to upgrade to the Value Bundle you certainly can! The cost would be significantly less and there would be no need for you to get a Guided Transfer as you would not be moving your site away from WordPress.com. The Value Bundle would also be instantaneous.

  That said, a Value Bundle would not permit you to run advertisements on our environment. If you are interested in running advertisements on your site, your best option will likely be to to either apply for our WordAds program at:

  WordAds

  Or for you to move to a self-hosted WordPress.org site. If you choose to go with that, you might be interested in a Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where we take care of everything for you: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

  If you would prefer to do things yourself, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/

  Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
  http://wordpress.org/support/
  http://codex.wordpress.org/

  I hope this helps!
