  If you’re referring to your blog http://garystlawrence.wordpress.com/, the server/hostname is garystlawrence.wordpress.com.

  There is no direct database access for WordPress.com blogs.

  Then why does GoDaddy specifically ask for it in the “Import Entries” process?

  OK, if you go to Tools > Export in your WordPress.com blog, you can download and save an export of your blog there.

  In your new GoDaddy hosted blog, go to Tools > Import > WordPress and upload that saved file.

  That will import your blog, without need for any database information.
