  1. Hire a web host such as godaddy or bluehost, or whoever.
  2. Install the wordpress.ORG software on that new host. You can do that typically through installer scripts in the control panel for your new hosting account.
  3. In your domain management here, point the nameservers at your new host. Wait about 24 hours for the nameserver change to propagate (in some cases it can take up to 72 hours, but that is rare).
  4. Export your content from here and import it into the new wordpress installation at your web host.
  5. Set your old blog here to private so that the search engines do not see duplicate content and discount your search engine rankings.

  If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers. Follow the Update Nameservers instructions found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/

  WordPress.ORG does not host they are the keepers of the WordPress software. You can’t point anything to WordPress.ORG.

  Go back and read the instructions that @thesacredpath gave you above.

  You have to hire a web host such as godaddy, bluehost, etc. They will give you the information on where to point your domain name and then you change the nameserver settings in your domain management panel here.

  It will take somewhere around a few hours, to as much as 24 hours for your domain nameserver change to propagate through all the tens of thousands of nameservers on the internet. Generally it is 24 or less though. You will just have to be patient as there is nothing that can be done to speed things up.

  Just so you know, the propagation is underway. I can see your new blog just fine. Nice theme you chose.
