Changing website hosting

I currently host my website beagreendesign.com through GoDaddy and I would like to change my domain registration and hosting to be through WordPress. I was wondering how to go about this. I would like to do it asap.

We can’t accept incoming domain registration transfers, but you can map your existing domain to your WordPress.com blog following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

I already map my website to my wordpress, but I want to host it through wordpress to avoid having to map it. And to avoid hosting through godaddy.

You will still have to map the domain, as we cannot accept a domain transfer. The domain itself will still need to be registered through GoDaddy and mapped here.
As for your content, you can import it into your WordPress.com blog following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-from-wordpress-org

Technically, yes, but I don’t recommend it. Typically, expired domains become the property of their registrar (in this case, GoDaddy), and are only returned to the public market at their discretion.
