    Hi, here is information about how to move your WordPress.com site to a self-hosted WordPress site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

    There are lots of web hosts out there: Bluehost, Dreamhost, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi I recently purchased hosting services with BlueHost in an effort to switch from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. Prior to the switch (over a yr ago) I purchased the domain name thru wordpress. I believe I properly changed the name servers and I also thought that I properly imported the wordpress.com content but I noticed when I typed in my web address there was no data there from my wordpress site. I also noticed on my laptop, whenever I typed my website which uses ‘http’ in its address, it automatically switched to ‘https’ and then gave me an error message saying the owner of the site configured the site incorrectly. Help!. Is it wrong for me to assume that if I import all my data, the wordpress.org site will look exactly like the wordpress.com site? Also, do you know why my http address is changing to https in the address bar?
