Domain and Hosting
First of all, you should know the difference between WordPress.com vs WordPress.org, because both sites are different. If you have created a free site on WordPress.com and now want to Migrate from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, better to purchase a domain plus hosting from a reputed hosting website. There are hundreds of hosting websites there but to select a best WordPress hosting website, which runs smoothly with no downtime is a tough decision.
You will be asking Why we are Purchasing Domain Plus Hosting? if we are creating a free WordPress site on WordPress.com.
Well, one thing you should keep in your mind that, if you have created a site on WordPress.com like example.com. Now that site is not yours unless you shift it to WordPress.org. WordPress.com can ban your site at any time, if you violate their rules and regulations. On the other side, if you purchase a domain plus hosting then the site becomes yours. That's why we are purchasing domain plus hosting.
