HOw do I transfer my blogs to a different host?
-
My domain at WordPress expired and I didn’t renew. Now I have the same domain at GoDaddy and I want to be able to have all the blogs show up again. How do I get them back?

You could do two things:
1. You could map your domain back to WordPress.com following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
2. You could install WordPress on GoDaddy and move your content there.
If you’re interested in that, we do offer an upgrade called Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where we take care of everything for you: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
Otherwise, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/
Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
http://wordpress.org/support/
http://codex.wordpress.org/We do offer yearly and one-time premium support packages for self-hosted WordPress sites through our VIP program, available at http://vip.wordpress.com
