Build a New Site
Creating a website on WordPress.com is a familiar, straightforward, and user-friendly process. Whether you’re looking to create a business website, portfolio, or blog, WordPress.com offers a versatile platform to bring your or your client’s vision to life.
Migrate an Existing Site
If you’d like to migrate an existing WordPress site to WordPress.com, you have a couple of options: use a migration plugin or manually transfer files using WP-CLI.
Add Additional Users
Invite developers, clients, and any other contributors to create their own user accounts on your site for easy collaboration and task delegation.
Connect or Transfer a Domain
If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can still use that domain with your WordPress.com site. You can also transfer your domain to WordPress.com so that you can manage all parts of your site within your WordPress.com account.
