  I am moving to a self hosting WordPress site. To do so, I have to get the FTP and Database info for the server we are using. We purchased the domain, http://www.myyearoffabulous.com through WordPress. This may sound silly (I’m new at this), but who is our provider? Where do I go to set up the host? Where did WordPress get the domain from? I look forward to your reply.

  This guide will step you through the process of moving your blog to a WordPress.org instance:

  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. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:
