    Okay, so my hosting site has just told me that they are deleting the server in which I am using for my blog and I was wondering how would I change my points back to wordpress.com in order to not have to start over? I had to change my server points so they would be directed to my hosting site…please help me! I want to be able to keep the .com at the end of the site, or would I have to end up paying the $18 again.

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

    That’s not how you move a blog.

    You go to the Tools page of that dashboard and click Export. Then you go to the tools page of the new WP.com blog and click Import. Then you check and make sure everything got moved over. THEN you change the nameservers to point to WordPress.com and you buy the domain mapping upgrade for your Wp.com blog.
