    Hi,

    Previously i’ve a blog ssdrmaza.wordpress.com. Then i’ve bought a domain drmaza.com.
    I’ve add the address at “add domain to blog” and it work’s fine.

    Now i have my own hosting service provider, so i would like to transfer all my files to my new hosting service provider.

    My new hosting service provider told me to change my exiting name server to their server
    nameserver : ns1.mydnsboxz.net , ns2.mydnsboxz.net

    I’ve change my DNS, then what should I do?

    My friend brought the same hosting service provider and a domain name. He install wordpress.org and he is able to change any html code and add any embed as his wish for his blog.

    After I change my DNS, can i do the same thing as my friend?
    If I can, how can I do it?

    Right now, whenever I click at Edit CSS, i still cannot edit my html code.

    Or, do i have to rebuild my homepage all aver again in my new hosting service provider?

    Thanks again.

    Hi again,

    I’ve read the info.
    But sadly, I couldn’t find any help regarding my situation.

    I need to transfer all my files in wordpress.com to my new hosting service provider.

    My problem is I can’t manage any file ( don’t know where and how) to access to all my files in wordpress.com so that i can create a copy and a back up to be transferred to the new hosting service provider.

    So, if i can;t access to the files in wordpress.com, then how can i transfer it to the new host?

    Thanks.

    At WordPress.COM, you export. Log in, go to Manage -> Export

    At your new hosted blog, you import. Manage -> Import

    Root

    It is not true you cannot access the *files* at com. You can export all your data. (not strictly files but you get the idea)
