Best Way To Move To WP.org?
-
I am interested in moving my blog to my own server and downloading WP from .org.
I have already bought a domain name from wordpress.com and have made significant alterations to my blog. My question is: How would I go about transferring this blog and all it’s content over to a self hosted site, and how would I go about transferring the domain name?
Thanks in advance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can transfer your blog content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
As for your domain, you’re welcome to keep your domain with us and update the nameservers to point to your hosting provider by following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers
After 60 days from the date of purchase, renewal, or nameserver change, you may also transfer your domain to another registrar: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#transfer-to-another-registrar

Thanks for that.
If I kept my domain registered with WP.com would I still be able to have complete freedom with my blog, for example, I would be hosting the blog myself so I could turn it into a fully functioning website, so I wouldn’t want any wordpress tags and/or wordpress NAV bar.

Yes, we’ll simply be your domain registrar. You’ll have full control over your blog, content, and hosting account.

Excellent! That’s all I needed. No need for me to change registrars then!
Thanks for your help!

Hello, i’m trying to update the nameserver so I can use my domain that i created via wordpress.com in wordpress.org but I don’t know where to find my nameserver for wordpress.org. Can you please assist me with that?

@slashwisdom: WordPress.ORG is just the name of the software, it’s not the name of the hosting company. You need to contact your new hosting company or browse through their support documentation to find out what their nameservers are. Then, follow the link given by macmanx to update the nameservers.
