  I have built
  https://whubbard2014.wordpress.com/
  And was trying to export it to BlueHost but turns out it is a WP.com not .org
  2 weeks later and lots of hours and bluehost and wpcurve with lots of others dont understand this….
  rather that have to start from scratch and rebuild the complete site on BH can I convert to .org from .com or does WP host .com sites them selves or can I self host easily.

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

  I have tried to find a way to get WP to export it and pay the $129 for their dream team to do this but the option does not show up on my WP site

  this is actually really simple. Follow the instructions here. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/i-want-to-export-from-com-to-org?replies=2

  Make sure you are on the right blog when you create the export file: the wp.com one. Make sure you are on the right blog when you Import the file: the wp.org/bluehost one.

  You cannot export themes here.

  If you want to buy the guided transfer upgrade, buy it from your WordPress.COM dashboard.

  Not in the least. I’ll tag this for staff assistance.

  Is that “not in the least” interested in being paid to get the passwords from me and transfer it “or” “not in the least” able to do it at all.
  I have worked with wpcurve for a week and they end up saying not in their scope so refunded me and I am still on it.

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry, but the Guided Transfer team is currently out until March 13th. Do you think you can wait until then?

  If not, this guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
