  I want to migrate my blog platform from wordpress.com to wordpress.org in order to access more customizability and freedom. Is this possible?

  Since I set up my website through WordPress.com, and I purchased a domain name, I figure I still own that domain name. I just don’t know how to access my Webhost because I wasn’t given that information when I upgraded.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
