  I am trying to switch from WordPress.com to WordPress.org while using a domain and hosting that is through GoDaddy.com. I first purchased my domain through WordPress, but paid the fee to have it hosted through GoDaddy. I have WordPress.org installed on my GoDaddy server but I can’t log into the program because my blog is still redirecting to the old WordPress.com site. Is there some way to break that link so that I can start editing the blog with WordPress.org? I’m really at a loss and would appreciate any advice.

  You can change your domain’s name servers to point to your hosting provider following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/
