If your WordPress website is hosted somewhere other than WordPress.com, we’d love for you to ask one simple question: Why?
Maybe you started there because of a stellar pricing deal on hosting and just stayed put for years. Maybe their offering was cutting-edge at one time, but now it seems outdated. Are all those paid add-ons starting to look a little bloated?
The WordPress.com of 2024 is vastly reimagined from what you may have encountered a couple of years ago. Our SEO tools, security features, unlimited bandwidth, and developer tools are world-class and built right in at no extra cost.
And for a limited time, we’ll move your existing WordPress site from any host to WordPress.com for free.
Let us do the work for you. We’re here to help and ensure that you’re getting the very best WordPress experience out of the box.
Move your siteHow it worksThe migration process takes only a few minutes, with no downtime involved. (Read those last four words again, because they’re very important!) Once your site is migrated, you’ll connect the domain and your site will be ready to go. Here’s how it works:
- Head to WordPress.com/move and enter the URL of the WordPress site to migrate.
- Select the option to create a new site, or select the existing WordPress.com site where you’ll move the old site to.
- Select “Migrate site” to move all of your site’s content, themes, plugins, users, and customizations. (This selection requires our Business plan. More on that below.)
- Select “Do it for me” to get our team to review and handle your migration for you. Again, this option is 100% free for a limited time.

How do those features translate to a better experience for you? Here’s what Michael P. had to say about the experience of migrating to WordPress.com::
“After migrating to WordPress.com our site is faster, easier to use, more secure, and technical support is nearly instant. The level of competency and understanding is a far cry from GoDaddy’s WordPress offering. It was a relief to work with a company that really knows how to manage WordPress!”
