You can move your site to WordPress.com from almost any platform. This guide covers import options for sites built with WordPress and other platforms. If you know what kind of site you are importing, select the option from the table of contents in this guide.
A WordPress.org site (also called self-hosted WordPress) is a WordPress site you host yourself (including sites developed locally) or with a third-party hosting provider like Bluehost, SiteGround, or GoDaddy.
Thinking about migrating your WordPress site to WordPress.com?
Our expert team can migrate the site for you while your live site remains unaffected.

To get started, enter your site details and pick the “Migrate site” option during the migration setup below. We’ll handle the rest.
