  I purchased my Domain and hosting via wordpress and now would like to switch to a different hosting service. How can I switch the Domain name of my site (Bardic Life) to, let’s say, a Blue Host service?

  Yes that’s possible. This guide explains how to transfer the domain name to another registrar. Also review this guide to learn more about moving all your blog contents to a self-hosted WordPress.org blog. As we only support blogs hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new blog–including the importing of the file–must be taken to the WordPress.org support community.

  If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com blog to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you.
