I have for some reason managed to create to sites under the same domain. One of them has the "xx.wordpress.com" in the end but I am only going to use the one called "xx.com. Will I loose the one called xx.com (and the things that I have already made on that site) if I close down the one with "wordpress.com" in the end?

I hope you can help me?

Best regards
Stine
