I had one question concerning this..</p> <p>situation: I hav a wordpress.com blog say eee.wordpress.com for which i hav a domain <a href="http://www.eee.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.eee.org</a>. </p> <p>After i buy a host, setup wordpress.org and one fine day, i redirect the domain initially directed towards eee.wordpress.com to the new host i setup.</p> <p>Since my DOMAIN Name hasnt changed, how will that affect my google rankings, search etc. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/moving-from-wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-blog#post-3435 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:37:51 +0000 Anonymous 3435@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>first go for a host. if you want to opt for host in India than go for ewebguru (www.ewebguru.com). Else you can go for hostgator or dreamhost.</p> <p>If you don't want to pay than go for freehostia free hosting service.</p> <p>In any of the host create database and than install wordpress. Also change the DNS setting to dns1.xxxx.com and dns2.xxxx.com or more. (here xxxx represents your host name)</p> <p>First of all choose a host (paid or free) than for each and every step you can open a support ticket if you feel so. Or post right here.</p> <p>Opt the option which allows you to give DNS address of your host </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/moving-from-wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-blog#post-3431 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 00:04:18 +0000 Anonymous 3431@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I don't have an answer to that but have a related question. So, instead of starting another thread, I'm seeking help at the same thread.</p> <p>Situation 1: I had a blog at wordpress.com. Then, I purchased a domain name [www.travellersdiary.net] and Domain Mapping through WordPress.com. Now I intend to use Wordpress.org and discontinue using wordpress.com.</p> <p>Questions: 1. How can I do that?</p> <p>Situation 2: When I log into my Domain Manager, it gives me 3 options for nameserver - i. Parked nameservers ii. Hosting nameservers iii. Custom nameservers</p> <p>Question: Which of these should I choose if I want to use wordpress.org and an external host? </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/moving-from-wordpresscom-to-wordpressorg-blog#post-3350 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 10:58:05 +0000 Anonymous 3350@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I am moving my blog from the Wordpress.com to WOrdpress.org<br /> I cannot remove my old Wordpress.com blog as it has very good ranking in Google and PR4 .. I wanted to know:<br /> a)Should the posts (with their titles and body) remain the same as in old blog. Will it not result in duplication which may be penalised by Google.<br /> b)Is there any way to transfer the PR to the new blog? </p>
