You must use their Jetpack plugin, which adds the same subscriber functionality that you had at WordPress.com.\n\nOnce you install and activate the Jetpack plugin, you will need to contact the WordPress.com team and ask them to migrate the subscribers for you. We hope that in the later versions of Jetpack, this will become easier, and users will be able to do it themselves."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can you help me transfer from WordPress.com to WordPress.org for FREE?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Absolutely. We offer migration from WordPress.com as part of our free WordPress blog setup service. If you need our assistance, then simply signup. It\u2019s free :)"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are the costs of switching to WordPress.org?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"WordPress is free. However, there are some minimal web hosting costs. We recommend that you read this article on: Why is WordPress free? What are the costs and what is the catch?"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"I already paid WordPress.com Can I get a refund?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, you can. If you recently purchased a custom domain or a paid plan from WordPress.com, then you can ask them for a full refund.\n\nNote: Domain registrations can be canceled within 48 hours of registration. Plans and other purchases can be canceled within 30 days of purchasing."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Will my images break?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No, they will not. When you transfer using the import file, all attached images are downloaded, and the link is updated.\n\nHowever, there is one caveat that we noticed. If your image URL starts with files.wordpress.com, then they will not be converted. If you notice that the image URL has not changed and still points to WordPress.com, we recommend that you use the import external images plugin, which will take care of that."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"I registered my domain through WordPress.com. Can I still move?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, you can. WordPress believes in empowering users and giving them complete control of their content. If you already have a domain name through WordPress.com, then all you need is a web hosting account.\n\nWe recommend that you set up with Bluehost or any of these other WordPress hosting providers. During the signup phase, you will be asked if you have a domain or want to register a new one.\n\nSimply select the option \u2018I have a domain name\u2019, and insert the domain you registered at WordPress.com.\n\nThe next thing you will have to do is change the nameservers to point to the hosting provider. We can assist with this as part of our free setup service. You can also ask your web hosting provider for support."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Will my website go down when I switch?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"If you do it correctly, then NO. The method we\u2019ve suggested above will ensure that your website never goes down. If you are worried, then know that we are here to help. You are welcome to use our free setup service at any time."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I add an online store my WordPress.org website?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, you can easily add an online store to your self-hosted WordPress.org website without any additional costs. Since Bluehost and other popular web hosts offer free SSL certificates, you simply need to install a WordPress eCommerce plugin to add an online store."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What are some of the must have WordPress plugins that you recommend?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Now that you have switched to self-hosted WordPress.org, you can install as many plugins as you like.\n\nHere\u2019s our recommended pick:\n\nAIOSEO \u2013 to improve your website\u2019s SEO rankings (used by 3 million sites).\nWPForms \u2013 to add a smart contact form on your website (used by 6 million sites).\nSeedProd \u2013 to easily customize your landing pages with drag & drop builder \u2013 works with all WordPress themes.\nMonsterInsights \u2013 to see how people find and use your website.

Another big benefit of switching to WordPress.org is that you get additional customization options and a larger collection of themes to choose from.\n\nIn your WordPress admin sidebar, click on the Appearance Menu dropdown and select \u2018Themes\u2019 to install a theme.\n\nWe have hand-picked some of the best themes to help users avoid choice paralysis.

control. Many beginners start with WordPress.com but soon run into its limitations and seek more advanced features.</p> <p>By moving to the self-hosted WordPress.org platform, you gain access to a wider range of themes, plugins, and customization options that aren’t available on WordPress.com.</p> <p>At WPBeginner, we have 15+ years of expertise using WordPress.org. So, you can rest assured that we have a deep understanding of carrying out this transition. Plus, if you want more control over your WordPress site, we know that making the switch is worth it.</p> <p>In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to properly move your blog from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, ensuring a smooth and seamless transition.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="550" height="340" src="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/movingwpcomtowporg-og.png" alt="Moving WordPress.com to WordPress.org" class="wp-image-89624" title="Moving WordPress.com to WordPress.org" srcset="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/movingwpcomtowporg-og.png 550w, https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/movingwpcomtowporg-og-300x185.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why Move From WordPress.com to WordPress.org?</h4> <p>WordPress.com allows anyone to <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/start-a-wordpress-blog/" title="How to Start a WordPress Blog the RIGHT WAY">start a blog</a> by creating a free account. This makes it easy for beginners to start blogging quickly without dealing with any technical issues.</p> <p>However, many users realize their free WordPress.com blog has some limitations. These include the limited ability to monetize, the inability to install plugins, third-party ads displayed to users, and more.</p> <p>This is why users often switch to the more powerful and popular self-hosted WordPress.org platform. Alternatively, you could upgrade to a <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/wordpress-com-hosting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="WordPress.com Hosting">paid WordPress.com plan</a>.</p> <p>We compared <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/self-hosted-wordpress-org-vs-free-wordpress-com-infograph/" title="WordPress.com vs WordPress.org – Which is Better?

This side-by-side analysis explains both platforms’ differences, advantages, and disadvantages. </p> <p>We recommend using WordPress.org because it gives you complete ownership of your website and the freedom to control all its features.

Since then, we’ve received tons of great questions. We’ve answered a lot of them via email or in comments, so we thought it would be nice to compile the popular ones in one place where everyone can see them.</p> <p><strong>What happens with my WordPress.com Subscribers?</strong></p> <p>Thankfully, WordPress.com allows you to migrate your subscribers with one condition. You must use their <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow" title="Jetpack plugin">Jetpack plugin</a>, which adds the same subscriber functionality that you had at WordPress.com. </p> <p>Once you install and activate the Jetpack plugin, you will need to contact the WordPress.com team and ask them to migrate the subscribers for you. We hope that this will become easier in the later versions of Jetpack, and users will be able to do it themselves.</p> <p><strong>Can you help me transfer from WordPress.com to WordPress.org for FREE?</strong></p> <p>Absolutely. We offer migration from WordPress.com as part of our <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/free-wordpress-blog-setup/" title="Free WordPress Blog Setup">free WordPress blog setup service</a>.

However, there are some minimal <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-hosting/" title="WordPress Web Hosting">web hosting</a> costs. We recommend that you read this article on: <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/why-is-wordpress-free-what-are-the-costs-what-is-the-catch/" title="Why is WordPress free?">Why is WordPress free? What are the costs, and what is the catch?</a></p> <p><strong>I already paid WordPress.com. Can I get a refund?</strong></p> <p>Yes, you can. If you recently purchased a custom domain or a paid plan from WordPress.com, then you can ask them for a full refund.</p> <p>Note: Domain registrations can be canceled within 48 hours of registration, and plans and other purchases can be canceled within 30 days of purchase.</p> <p><strong>Will my images break?</strong></p> <p>No, they will not. When you transfer using the import file, all attached images are downloaded, and the link is updated. </p> <p>However, we noticed one caveat. If your image URL starts with files.wordpress.com, then they will not be converted. If you notice that the image URL has not changed and still points to WordPress.com, we recommend that you use the <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-import-external-images-in-wordpress/" title="How to Import External Images in WordPress">import external images plugin</a>, which will take care of that.</p> <p><strong>I registered my domain through WordPress.com. Can I still move?</strong></p> <p>Yes, you can. WordPress believes in empowering users and giving them complete control of their content. If you already have a domain name through WordPress.com, then all you need is a web hosting account. </p> <p>We recommend that you set up with Bluehost or any of these other <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-hosting/" title="WordPress hosting">WordPress hosting</a> providers. During the signup phase, you will be asked if you have a domain or want to register a new one. </p> <p>Simply select the ‘I have a domain name’ option and insert the domain you registered at WordPress.com.</p> <p>The next thing you will have to do is <a href="https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-change-nameservers-and-point-domain-to-a-new-host/" title="How to Easily Change Domain Nameservers (and Point to a New Host)">change the nameservers</a> to point to the hosting provider.

Sure, you can pay the $13 and redirect the old wordpress.com domain to your new domain. But what really matters for SEO is redirecting individual pages and blog posts, from the old site to the new one. To do that, you need a redirect plugin on your wordpress.com account, and wordpress.com plugins are only available on their $25 USD/month business plan. Most of us are on free wordpress.com accounts, so we don’t have the ability to do this.</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-move-your-blog-from-wordpress-com-to-wordpress-org/comment-page-14/?replytocom=2878950#respond' data-commentid="2878950" data-postid="2721" data-belowelement="article-comment-2878950" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to this review" aria-label='Reply to this review'>Reply<svg width="11" height="11" aria-hidden="true" role="img" focusable="false"><use xlink:href="#regular-level-down"></use></svg></a></div> </article> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment byuser comment-author-jeremycomments odd alt depth-2 staff" id="comment-2879717"> <article id="article-comment-2879717"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <span class="comment-author-name">WPBeginner Support</span> </p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>The WordPress.com redirect will redirect your posts as well using the day and name permalink structure, you do not need to use plugins to redirect the individual posts that way.
