    I have a site. Can I use that web address http://www.sherryfelix.com
    I have a WordPress blog at https://port4u.wordpress.com/
    I want merge both sites to a site on WordPress.org and use NextGen gallery http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/ with some sort of shopping cart.
    I want to retain my domain name sherryfelix.com
    I want a shopping carts to be able to link to 3rd party vendor to sell framed and digital versions of my graphic art.
    I want to have my followers and the people I follow not lost during the migration (I understand y\I have to pay for forwarding for a year or two.)
    I want to get help doing this as the apps and sites I have tried so far have not worked.
    Want to know if I have to change who hosts my site. Currently it hosted by http://www.lem.net/
    I need a breakdown of the cost of all this. Would you be able to help me do any or all of this?

    I want merge both sites to a site on WordPress.org

    Follow this guide to move your WordPress.com blog: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

    I want to retain my domain name sherryfelix.com

    Consult your domain registrar and hosting provider for instructions on properly directing your domain.

    I want a shopping carts to be able to link to 3rd party vendor to sell framed and digital versions of my graphic art.

    There are a variety of eCommerce plugins to choose from, but I believe that WooCommerce has add-ons to integrate with some third-parties: http://www.woothemes.com/woocommerce/

    I want to have my followers and the people I follow not lost during the migration (I understand y\I have to pay for forwarding for a year or two.)

    Paying WordPress.com for a Site Redirect upgrade is not a requirement, but it certainly helps folks find your new site.

    You can transfer your Followers following this guide: http://jetpack.me/support/subscription-migration-tool/

    I want to get help doing this as the apps and sites I have tried so far have not worked.

    We can try to help help here for free by answering questions along the way, or you can hire someone via http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or http://directory.codepoet.com/ (do not accept any hire offers posted to these forums)

    Want to know if I have to change who hosts my site. Currently it hosted by http://www.lem.net/

    I’d start by asking them if they meet the requirements: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/

    If they do, it’s ok to stay with them.

    If they don’t, you’ll have to find a new host. We have some recommendations at https://wordpress.org/hosting/

    I need a breakdown of the cost of all this.

    Everything mentioned above is free, except for the hosting and maybe needing to hire someone if you wanted to go that route.
