web hosting and redirect
-
Hello, i want to host my blog with wordpress by upgrading and paying the 18USD, My question is that what happens to my post, links and comments in my youngoliki.wordpress.com/
how can i redirect the youngoliki.wordpress.com to the new hosted blog.
ThanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Th domain mapping upgrade is not a hosted blog. It just uses a custom domain name to point to your existing blog. Nothing moves to another host!

Ok. I want to self host but i want a redirection of my blog and its contents to the new self hosted blog how do i go about it?

Sorry, I understand. There is an upgrade, the site redirect, which does what you want.
What you need to do is copy your site to the self-hosted site (export from your curent site and import into self hosted). You need to set up the new blog the same permalink structure as wordpress.com. At this point your wordpress.com blog will still exist but be inaccessible. If you turn of the redirect (or fail to renew it) then it will appear again as it was at this point in time.
If you use the guided transfer option the WordPress staff will do all this for you, though it is quite expensive for something that is reasonably easy to do yourself.
