  I am trying to switch my blog from wordpress.com to a self hosted wordpress site. I have purchased a web hosting service through go daddy that attaches a wordpress application. I also want to keep my domain name that I upgraded through my dashboard on wordpress.com. How can I transfer my domain name from wordpress.com to go daddy?

  You can change your DNS (domain name servers) and point them to GoDaddy by following the instructions here:

  Instructions for completely transferring your domain to another registrar, and on the same page.
