Moving site from free domain to selfhosted domain without losing stats, comments, likes, etc?
-
I currently have a free account with a ‘.wordpress.com’ domain. I have my website for some time now, and I want to switch to hosting it myself (outside of WordPress), but I want to change the name of my site as well, that means changing the domainname as well.
So, firstly, my main question is: will I lose all of my followers, likes, comments, statistics, etc if I do that and is there a way to prevent this? And secondly, how do I move my site as a whole to that new self-hosted-domain?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I do not witness a custom domain URL when visiting http://thetruestbeliever.wordpress.com/ that is why I will direct you to Export Your Content to Another Blog or Platform as well https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#export-your-content-to-another-blog-or-platform
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.
