How to use WordPress.org with domain name that came with WordPress.com plan

[ad_1]

I mistakely bought the Explorer plan on [Wordpress.com](https://Wordpress.com) that comes with a custom domain name. After messing around for a bit I realized I couldn’t add any new themes and it was missing some features.

Is there a way to make a site using the features that come with [Wordpress.org](https://Wordpress.org) (most notably being able to access themes) but use the domain name that comes with the plan I purchased on [Wordpress.com](https://Wordpress.com)?

  1. Don’t use [Wordpress.com](https://Wordpress.com). Get hosting anywhere else – no other hosts have any restrictions.

    You can’t move a domain for 60 days after purchase, but that doesn’t matter – simply change the Name Servers or DNS

  2. Yes, go into any big hosting provider. You can transfer domains but last I checked was like 15usd.
