  Hi there,

  If you want to self-host your WordPress.org site with your current host (ICN.com), you can check out the installation instructions here:
  http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress

  Please know that these forums are for WordPress.com, so if you do intend to self-host your WordPress.org site, you’ll need to visit their support forums for help:
  http://wordpress.org/support/

  If you’d like to use your domain name with WordPress.com, then you will need to renew it with your current registrar, because WordPress.com doesn’t accept incoming domain transfers. But you can map the domain to your blog here once you renew!

  I hope that helps, but just let me know if I didn’t understand the problem correctly.
