au revoir wordpress.com?

I’ve been giving some serious consideration to moving this blog to a self-hosted platform and saying au revoir to the hosted WordPress.com. There is quite a lot I’d like to upgrade on the page, and the wordpress.com options are not very cost-effective. I am concerned though that I have built up quite a following using wordpress.com, and if and when I move to wordpress.org I will lose you all!

I’m looking at this webhost. If anyone has any experiences of switching over to WordPress self-hosted, I’d love to hear. Also, if anyone knows how I can move all of my subscribers with me, I really need to know!

If you do follow me already and don’t want me to vanish from your life! You can fill in my Mailchimp email signup form that pops up when you load my site, or in the email signup box on the inbuilt email signup!

You could also follow me on Facebook and Twitter!

If you have any experiences of migrating blogs, please get in touch!

Saying au revoir to WordPress.com will be quite a learning curve, but I am hoping it will give me greater control over my site! I will, of course, be sharing updates and what I have learnt from the process as the move from hosted to self-hosted happens.
