  I need to become more educated in the domain transfer process. If my site is a wordpress.com site (vs a self hosted wordpress.org blog) do I register my domain through some outside company (such as Bluehost or GoDaddy) IF I do not wish to move to a self hosted blog??

  What would be a reason to NOT host the site on wordpress??

  The main difference between hosting at WordPress.com or having a self-hosted WordPress.org blog elsewhere are detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
