 * A year ago, I created my blog through Windows Live Writer, apparently falling
   under wordpress.com. This sort of went automatically, and I later even ‘bought’
   a name, together with some other options. This supscription will expire in a 
   months’ time. I learned too late that there is a difference between .com and .
   org.
 * I have browsed through the forum to find out how I can switch my wordpress.com
   blog to a wordpress.org one. I don’t understand all the instructions in previous
   forum entries on this topic. Isn’t there a step by step visual manual available
   somewhere?
 * But maybe it is easier to build a new site and then copy-paste from my old site.

 * Thank you Esmi,
 * I had not come accross this page, which is exactly what I was looking for.
 * I understand that I first have to find a good host. I tried to get some answers
   from my internet provider (UPC in the Netherlands). They can host (it is in my
   package, anyway), but could not give me any specific information or experience
   with wordpress. As this sounded too vague, I decided to look for another host.
   In a recent book on wordpress (by Rogier Mostert) they suggest using **FileZilla**.
   Is this indeed a trustworthy host?

 * FileZilla is FTP software – not a hosting company. Although we cannot endorse
   them, there are some [hosts listed here](http://wordpress.org/hosting). Also 
   searching the forums using the keywords “host” or “hosting” may also provide 
   you with some suggestions.
