  I am trying to move my current (free) WordPress blog to my new GoDaddy hosting. In order to migrate the blog, they are asking me for the host location, ftp username and ftp password. Is this something you can provide?

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

  None of that applies to a wordpress.COM hosted blog as we do not have FTP access. Please see: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress at https://move.wordpress.com/ for deatiled instructions.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
