    Welllll… Self-Hosted WordPress software is not exactly the same as Network-Hosted WordPress.com. They both use the same base software (WordPress), but other than that, they’re completely different.

    So, with that said, your WordPress.com account credentials won’t work on your self-hosted version. Nor will any of your data carry over by default. The two are totally separate from one another.

    Hopefully this FAQ on the topic will help clear things up a bit.

    Now, if you do intend to migrate your site from a network-hosted site to a self-hosted site, thankfully this process is made a little simpler by the use of the Export and Import tool. This tool will create a data file that you can import into your new self-hosted site and will include your posts, categories, tags, and comments. Note however this tool won’t bring over your media files for you – the exported data will point to media files on the old site. You’ll need to manually go through and re-upload and re-link your media content to get this working. Learn more about importing here.

    I hope this helps!
