Thinking about migrating your WordPress site to WordPress.com?
Our expert team can do the moving for you, while your live site remains unaffected – at no cost and with 50% off your first year on our Business plan.
The migration process typically takes 2-3 business days. Once it’s complete, we’ll guide you through connecting your domain and getting your new site up and running. To get started, just drop in your site details and pick the “Do it for me” option during the migration setup below. We’ll take it from there!
If you have a site with another WordPress host or a local development/staging WordPress site, you can move it to WordPress.com using one of the options listed below. Each guide includes instructions on how to upload an entire site, including content, media, plugins, and the theme, from another WordPress host to WordPress.com.
- Use our self-service migration option.
- Use a plugin, like Migrate Guru, or All-in-One WP Migration.
The above options require the purchase of a WordPress.com Business plan or higher so that plugins can be imported. For an option that can be used on any WordPress.com plan, including free sites, import the content only (pages, posts, and media.)
If you already have a website on WordPress.com but want to move it to another site or account, you can choose the best option for your needs:
- Move the site’s content to another website.
- Copy an entire WordPress.com site.
- Change the address of your site.
- Transfer the site to another account on WordPress.com.
