  Hi-

  I’ve purchased a domain name through wordpress.com but want to move only the URL name to my wordpress.org self hosted site. I don’t need to export anything from the old blog, just the name.

  How can I do that?

  Also, do you know where can I find my FTP?

  Thank you,
  Vanessa

  We don’t provide FTP access at WordPress.com, but you can get FTP access for your self-hosted site from your hosting provider.

  As for the domain, you can direct it to your new hosting provider by changing your nameservers: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers
