  Hello @retohalme2020 –

  You need to migrate your website content from your previous host to WordPress.com see the procedure here: https://wordpress.com/support/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

  If you also like to transfer your domain from your previous host to enable you manage your website and domain from WordPress.com you can use domain transfer. However, you need an upgraded WordPress.com plan on your site (such as a Personal, Premium, or Business plan) to transfer a domain: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  In case you prefer to leave your existing domain name on your previous host and manage only your website from WordPress.com you can use domain mapping to connect your site from WordPress.com to your previous host to use your exiting domain. Please see the help instruction: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  I hope this helps.

  Best,

  Sorry @retohalme2020 didn’t get that well at first.

  If you’re moving your website from WordPress.com to WordPress.org please use this instruction instead: https://move.wordpress.com/

  Note that as you only created this account 2 hours ago and https://retohalme2020.wordpress.com/ hasn’t been launched yet you probably won’t have much content to move. WordPress.com subdomains only work here so you’ll probably just need to start again with a new similar domain at some other host if you’ve decided not to continue here.
