  Move domain name or blog? WordPress.ORG is the keeper of the WordPress software and does not host anything.

  WordPress.ORG does not actually host sites. They just support, develop and distribute the software.

  You would need to hire a web host, point your domain name at that web host, install and configure the software from wordpress.ORG (many hosts have a one button install script where you just answer a few questions). Then you export your content from here and import it into the new site. Figure somewhere around $7 to $20 per month for hosting costs depending on bandwidth and storage requirements.

  WordPress also offers a guided transfer service where they do all the work for you.

  WordPress.COM does not charge anyone to leave unless they do a guided transfer for a blog. You can take your name and marbles and as long as you do the moving there should be no charge.
