# WordPress.com User Invitations

 * Is there a way to invite existing WordPress.com users to become users on my wordpress.
   org self-hosted site? I am working on an education website, the previous instance
   of which employed wordpress.com, and I want to invite last year’s users to use
   my site with their WP account.
 * Is there a way to do this with a plug-in or extended jetpack functionality? I
   would rather my students use their wordpress.com accounts than create new ones
   locally.

 * There’s no way to do this via a plugin on your self-hosted site but you could
   have a word with the folks over at wordpress.com to see if they can help you.

 * If you do want to contact WordPress.**COM** then consider posting in their support
   forum.

 * Thanks for the leads, fellas.
 *  I realize the difference between **.ORG** and **.COM** Jan but you could understand
   why I’d ask the very open-minded **.ORG** people before the **.COM** as I imagine
   the **.COM** people will just tell me to buy their overpriced premium packages.
   Either way, thank you for taking the **TIME** to **REPLY**.

 * Found it immediately on the front forum, my biased reservations about wordpress.
   com were just that – biased reservations. In case anyone wanders here from a 
   support forum search, [here is the thread for migration on wordpress.com support](http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/migrating-subscribers-and-accounts?replies=11)

 * Actually, the wordpress.com people are pretty cool about this sort of thing as
   they’re pleased to see their users move onto self-hosted WordPress sites. I think
   they will try to help if they can.
