Thank you @esmi.
Do you know how this will affect my subscription/billing? I am currently being charged for the value bundle with .com….do you know if I still pay those fees once I host off of wordpress for my new .org site?
Your self-hosted site has nothing to do with any wordpress.com site you might have. You can ask for the value bundle to be removed from your wordpress.com account and even for your entire wordpress.com site to be removed, if you want. But you’ll need to speak to the folks over at wordpress.com about this.
ok great thank you.
do you know where I can find a contact link/number so that I can ensure that I am not billed any further for my wordpress.com site?
