  Hello,
  I already have a web hosting with maxihoster.com. I registered my domain with them as well.

  However, I also have a Personal plan with you.

  With my plan, I just want to use your website builder and connect my domain. Is there any way I can store my website data to maxihoster?

  Thanks,
  Anggi

  Hi there!

  You don’t actually need separate web hosting if you want to host your site with us. We’re also a managed WordPress hosting. The main difference between other hosts and WordPress.com is that we offer many built-in features that are not available with regular hosting companies.

  Some of the features we offer in various WordPress.com plans are:

  • Unlimited bandwidth, so your site can have millions of visitors
  • Unmatched security
  • Built-in stats
  • Social sharing buttons
  • Spam prevention system powered by Akismet
  • Expert support via live chat/ticket (depending on the plan)
  • Advanced hosting features like SFTP, SSH, and real-time backups with a one-click restore with the Business plan and higher

  So basically, you need to choose one hosting, which can be us or a different hosting you already have. You can’t have hosting in two places, as your domain can only be pointed to one hosting at a time.

  If you’d like to move your site to WordPress.com, we have instructions for migrating your entire site as-is to WordPress.com here:

  With any WordPress.com plan (not just Business), you can use your domain with your WordPress.com site by adding Domain Connection or transferring the domain to WordPress.com.
