    Hi there,

    WordPress.org isn’t a domain or hosting provider, so you can’t transfer a domain or a site there. WordPress.org is just the site where the free, open source WordPress software is made.

    Can you explain in more detail what you want to do? Do you perhaps mean you want to transfer your site at http://spanglish321.wordpress.com/, to a self-hosted WordPress installation hosted at Bluehost.com, and using your domain you have with them?

    In that case you’ll first need to install a new copy of the WordPress software on your hosting account at Bluehost. Bluehost has a one-click install option for this, so please contact their support for help doing that.

    Once you have WordPress installed over there, you can export your site content from our end at Tools ->Export. Then log into your Bluehost site (when you install WordPress, they’ll email you the login details for your new site), go to Tools ->Import, select WordPress, and upload the file you got from us.

    We have a more detailed overview of this process at https://move.wordpress.com/

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    @spanglish321, please ignore the statement that your site has been suspended. That is not correct.
