Same name, different ownership
★★★★★ Clutch 5.0
WordPress.com to WordPress.org. Have full control.
Hit a plan limit on WordPress.com? WordPress.org runs the same software, on hosting you control, with full access to plugins, themes, monetization, and code.
Our approach
Same WordPress underneath, with nothing lost.
WordPress on both sides, so your content isn’t at risk: posts, pages, media, and comments move over intact. The real work is hosting setup, theme rebuild, and redirects. We also handle domain, email and SSL, so the switch is invisible to visitors.
What we do
Every WordPress.com restriction, lifted.
Any plugin, any theme
WordPress.com blocks plugins below its Creator (formerly Business) plan and bans whole categories. Self-hosted WordPress runs anything you need: WooCommerce, custom code, any integration.
Full monetization freedom
No revenue share, no rules on ads, affiliate links, or selling. Your site, your model.
Real hosting choices
Skip the plan ladder. Pick hosting sized to your traffic and budget, often cheaper than WordPress.com’s own tiers.
Theme rebuilt, or upgraded
WordPress.com themes rarely transfer. We rebuild your design, or upgrade it, on the builder you choose.
Is it worth it?
The move to WordPress.org pays off.
Personal blog on a free plan? Stay on WordPress.com. It’s built for that. The move pays off once your site is a business asset: WooCommerce, memberships, custom functionality, or you’re paying for plans just to unlock what self-hosting includes by default.
- Free review of current plan vs. self-hosted costs
- Zero-downtime DNS cutover
- SEO protected with redirect mapping
- Hosting sized to your traffic
- 30-day post-launch warranty

Common questions
Your WordPress.com to .org questions, answered.
WordPress.com is a hosted platform with plan limits and platform rules. WordPress.org is the same open-source software on hosting you control: any plugin, any theme, full monetization, and complete ownership.
If it’s a personal blog on a free plan, probably not. The move pays when the site is a business asset: you need WooCommerce, memberships, custom functionality, or you’re paying for upper-tier plans to unlock what self-hosting includes by default.
No. We migrate all content, map redirects for any URL changes, and handle domain, email continuity, and SSL so the move is invisible to your visitors. Most business migrations run 1-3 weeks.
The cost depends on the size of the site, your design needs, which WordPress.com features (stats, backups, Jetpack) need a self-hosted replacement, and whether we set up or manage the hosting. We quote it as a fixed price after a quick review. Because you’re already on WordPress, it’s usually one of the smoother, more affordable migrations.
No. All posts, pages, images, comments, and menus transfer to your self-hosted WordPress.org site. We map URLs and set redirects so nothing is lost and your rankings and links carry over.
Full control: any plugin or theme, real customization, your own hosting, no forced ads or upsells, and no feature paywalls. WordPress.com is convenient but limited; .org removes the ceilings while keeping the same familiar editor.
The functionality moves, but through self-hosted equivalents. Built-in stats, backups, and Jetpack features are replaced by plugins you control, often the same tools, so you keep the capabilities without the subscription limits.
Yes, and we help you choose and set it up. Self-hosted WordPress runs on hosting you control, which is what gives you the freedom .com lacks. We can also manage the hosting for you if you prefer.
Yes. We can rebuild your existing theme and layout on self-hosted WordPress, or use the move to refresh the design. Either way you review it on staging before anything goes live.
Yes. The migration includes a 30-day post-launch warranty, and we offer maintenance plans covering updates, backups, and security, which matter more once you own the hosting and site fully.
