• I currently have a blog on wordpress.com. After completing making the blog there I came to know that affiliate programs and adsense, etc are not allowed there so members there recommended to sign with www.ads-software.com.

    Now before I make a move, I would like to understand the following:

    1) What are the major benefits for me after shifting from .com to .org?
    (I can use affiliate links and adsense or adverting options on .org?

    2) What are the steps of shifting from .com to .org?
    (I want to do it myself, so detailed guidelines would be appreciated)

    3) After I shift to .org what are the things that I have to take care of, beside having my own domian name?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    First, to clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and www.ads-software.com are two different entities.

    1 and 3. Yes, for more details and a list of new responsibilities, see: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    2. They do offer an upgrade called Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where they take care of everything for you: https://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/

    Otherwise, you’ll need to install WordPress from https://www.ads-software.com/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at https://www.ads-software.com/hosting/

    Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

    Thanks,this was great help. To understand it further I would like to know the following:

    1.To start, the first step for me would be to buy a hosting plan and than install www.ads-software.com theme on it? Am I right?

    2.From your recommendation of hosting provider’s I wanted to choose dreamhost and try their 2 weeks trial before buying it. Is that possible? Any guidance on that?

    3.About plugin in www.ads-software.com, after installing Jetpack I will get all features working properly like, Facebook, comments, sharing, likes? Usually is there any problem after installing Jetpack to it?

    4. To avoid transfer hassle from .com to org. I can strait make a new website at .org, since I made a few pages on .com and I can easily make that again. That would be easier for me I suppose?

    Sorry for asking silly questions but I am a newbie in the blogging world and above that not a technical person.

    Thanks a in advance yet again.

    1. Almost. You get a hosting provider and install WordPress. WordPress then comes with a theme or you can add your own later. Don’t just install the theme. ?? DreamHost, which you mentioned later, has a great one-click WordPress installer.

    2. Sure thing, DreamHost actually has a 97-day money-back guarantee and is my preferred host at the moment.

    3. Yes, and no typical problems, but Jetpack does have support: https://jetpack.me/contact-support/

    4. For sure, the export/import is actually very simple via the Tools section of your blogs’ Dashboards, but if it fails for some crazy reason, it’s not too difficult to copy/paste content.

    Please let us know if you have any more questions!

    I have come up with a few queries more ??
    What if I don’t want to have my own domain and hosting site and want to just have a site on www.ads-software.com. Any guidance for downloading and shifting my site from wordpress.com to www.ads-software.com? Thanks.

    www.ads-software.com doesn’t host any sites, so you can’t have a site on www.ads-software.com – you need to organise your own hosting and domain name.

    James has already given you some great links about transferring sites, and really there’s not much more that can be said about that.

    Thanks a lot for for your reply and support on that. Sorry have too many queries but as I said I am not really a technical person so here I come with more questions ??

    Finally I decided to buy a hosting plan & domain name registration from from godaddy. Godaddy supports the wordpress themes.

    Now what I don’t understand is, since godadyy already have wordpress themes to choose from, can I directly make my blog from godaddy site or should I migrate my wordpress site to godaddy?

    > If I make directly from godaddy site (which I want to do because currently I have a blog at wordpress.com and I have to migrate that to www.ads-software.com and then migrate again to godaddy, which is a lengthy & complicated procedure for me which I want to avoid and I find making a new blog at godaddy easier. If I do that I am not sure if these themes are from wordpress.com or www.ads-software.com because ultimately I want to use www.ads-software.com so that I can have freedom of adding advertising options.

    Please guide the easiest and fastest way so that I can have my blog ready.

    Thanks in advance again.
