  I’m in the process of moving my blogs, and my hosting company needs the database from my wordpress.com site, and then they can move my blog to wordpress.org.
  But I can’t seem to find it, the things that I can export aren’t the database.
  How do I get the Database?

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

  You can’t, you need to install WordPress then inport your blog’s contents.

  database from my wordpress.com site

  We bloggers do not have access to the datatbase for WordPress.COM blogs and we do not need it. You need to create an XML export file of your content so you can import it into your new hosted site. See here please https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

  After you have moved your content into your WordPress.ORG install please install and activate the Jetpack plugin. Then see here to move your subscribers https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site

  You cannot move your stats but Staff can so after you have done that please type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond.
