There are several ways to get WordPress. The easiest is through a hosting provider, but sometimes tech-savvy folks prefer to download and install it themselves.
Either way, you can use your WordPress through a web browser and with our mobile apps.
Whatever domain name you select would be suffixed with WordPress.com because you are using the WordPress platform for developing a free website. Let me give you an example, I write a domain name as xyzdomain1 and it has automatically been suffixed with wordpress.com so my complete domain name or website address would be is xyzdomain1.wordpress.com. WordPress.com WordPress.com is the best free WordPress platform that you can find. Because unlike WordPress.org, here the site takes care of all the hostings for you. You do not have to buy any software or pay for hostings or even manage a web server. Create a free website or easily build a blog on WordPress.com. Dozens of free, customizable, mobile-ready designs and themes. Free hosting and support.

Description
Migrate Guru is the fastest way to migrate WordPress sites. It simplifies difficult WordPress migrations (e.g. multi-site networks, 200 GB sites, etc.).
Powered by BlogVault (an onboarding partner of top WordPress hosts in the world), Migrate Guru uses intelligent processes on its own servers… So there is ZERO risk to your sites. It automatically rewrites URLs, bypasses import-export scripts, and handles serialised data. It also can clone WordPress sites without any manual work, add-ons, or additional tools.

NO OVERLOAD ON SITE
The website transfer or migration process works on our servers, so it doesn’t crash your site.
BUILT FOR LARGE SITES
Move or clone sites as large as 200 GB in a breeze. Large site migrations usually fail because of live-site server import limits.

(*Approximate & depends on a number of factors).

Does MG backup my site?
No.
Do I need to have WordPress installed in the destination?
Yes.
Do I need to have MG installed in the destination to transfer my site?
No. It’s only needed on the source site.
Why do you need FTP/cPanel details?
MG needs these details since FTP/cPanel is the safest way to move your site.
How do I move a multi-site network?
When installed on a WordPress multi-site network, the plugin automatically becomes ‘network activated’. Once this is done you can go by the same steps as a single site.
Do you have a help guide/documentation?
Yes, we do. You can access it here: https://migrateguru.freshdesk.com/support/home
