  • wordpress.org does not host any sites, so you will first need to select a host and set up a hosting account for your “self-hosted” site at those servers. In other words, “self-hosted” means having a site at any available host other than wordpress.com. You will also need to purchase (register) a domain name of your own if you do not already have one, and you might or might not decide to do that at the same time. Many hosts are Registrars also, so you can keep that in mind while selecting a host. But if you do already have a domain of your own, it can be pointed at your new host’s nameservers.

    Some hosts have installation scripts available for installing WordPress, or you can learn you way around a bit from the very beginning — my own suggestion — and install WordPress manually. By doing that, you will learn some of the basics for using cPanel and its File Manager, MySQL and phpMyAdmin since in the days ahead you will almost certainly need to do so.

    Out-of-the-box WordPress needs to be “hardened” since you will no longer have wordpress.com or anyone else taking care of security for you, and I highly suggest and recommend the BulletProof Security plugin for taking care of all of that and much more with just a few clicks.

    After you have a working site at your new host will be the time to actually begin your move…

    @ melissaguffy: Start a thread topic of your own and post your details.
