    I have a domain that I own through cloudshare, however its domain extension is .org

    I would like to upload my domain on WordPress with .org instead of WordPress .com Please let me know the steps towards this! Thank you in advance for your help.

    I have also reviewed this already and it only shows step-by-step with WordPress.com

    I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

    Hi there –

    Thanks for getting in touch. I’ll be glad to help you get this sorted. First, I’m not entirely clear on whether or not you are trying to set the domain up with our managed hosting services here? Or are you trying to manage your own WordPress installation on a different hosting provider?

    On WordPress.com our team offers a managed hosting environment. This means that we handle all the back end details of the site. Things like back ups, updates, security, spam, seo, ssl, mobile optimization, top notch hosting specs, and sorting out any errors or bugs that pop up along the way. When you run a stand alone WordPress installation, like what y’all have set up, then all of those details fall on to you – so instead of being able to focus on content you spend a ton of time and frustration fixing these sort of issues.

    All of our hosting plans are available on https://wordpress.com/pricing/ where you can see features and pricing. There’s a great savings when purchasing the annual plan versus paying for it month by month.

    Since you already own the domain, you would be able to add it to your account here on our personal plan.
