  Confused! Moving to wordpress.org seems to involve a third-party ISP onto which I need to upload my files. So it would not be a WordPress.org site. Why is it called WordPress.org then?

  WordPress.ORG supplies the software you need to install in your new webspace. WP.org does not supply web space; you need a third party ISP. You do not transfer your files to WP.org. You buy hosting and transfer your files to that, your new blog using software from WP.org.

  Got it: WP.org is the software, not the host. Thanks for your help.
