 * Hello,
 * I’m very new to WP so thanks in advance. We have a company website running on
   wordpress.com it has it’s own domain name and is being hosted by 1and1. It was
   there before I started. I now need to update it so I bought a theme on themeforest
   but don’t know how to change to wordpress.org. It is installed on my computer
   from the previous designer as she created a wordpress.org site for a different
   client.
 * I uploaded the theme using filezilla but don’t know what to do now… sorry I have
   been researching just don’t know where to start…
 * Thanks

 * WordPress.com is a hosted blogging service based, of course, on WordPress. You
   can register and open your blog, choosing from a variety of themes. It’s running
   the latest version of WordPress.
 * WordPress.org is the site where you can download WordPress, themes and plugins
   and install it in your own server.

 * Hi, thanks for your help… I think I found some info on my question (or found 
   how to ask the question!)….

 * My confusion was about the fact that wordpress.org had been downloaded and then
   uploaded to our 1and1 server as it is used to host a seperate wordpress.org site
   for a client… but I now need to set up another one for our own site and set up
   a separate database…. I think?
 * Thanks
