Title: redirect WordPress.com to .org Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # redirect WordPress.com to .org * [PurpleTeeth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/purpleteeth/) * (@purpleteeth) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-noob-please-help/) * _[mod: topic title moderated – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum\_Welcome#Choose\_A\_Good\_Topic\_Title](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Choose_A_Good_Topic_Title)]_ * as a beginner to wordpress, I made a wordpress.com account for a blog I want to start up. I named this blog Purple Teeth Club and purchased the offering of buying [http://www.purpleteethclub.com](http://www.purpleteethclub.com). After playing around with my wordpress.com site, I decided I wanted to teach myself wordpress.org because it seemed to offer more of what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I am a bit of a tech noob when it comes to stuff like this. I am determined to teach myself still, and to not give up but now I am stuck. I want to combine the two accounts and use the domain [http://www.purpleteethclub.com](http://www.purpleteethclub.com) for my wordpress.org account but I have no clue how to do so. I have been researching for two days with no avail. Can anybody help me? Thank you!
