  It’s not that simple. To even be considered, your blog has to have a minimum of 500,000 views per day among other things, cost-wise it starts at $500 a month.
  Might want to read this article for more:

  Please read this https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1 as it describes the differences between blogging here at wordpress.COM on a multiouser blogging platform with free hosting, and getting free software from wordpress.ORG, hiring a web host, purchasing a domain and exporting the contents of your wordpress.cCOM blog out, and then importing it into your new wordpress.ORG install.

  Hey soz, but that link doesn’t answer my question, It just talks about the differences between .org and .com …

  I need to know if is possible to transfer the entire blog with all the posts to wordpress.org…

  Yes. Please read

  As I said above:
  (1) You can hire a web host and purchase a domain. If you already have a domain then you can purchase domain mapping to it.http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/
  (2) You can get free wordpress.ORG software for your domain.
  (3) You can export the contents out of your wordpress.COM blog to your desktop.
  (4) Then you can import the contents of your wordpress.com blog (the exported files) into your new site.

  WP should take out Justhost from the recommendation. Justhost is dishonest.
