  What happens to my blog if I buy domain(example: mydomain.com) from blue host? How do I make sure that my contents from existing blog iwithnotitle.wordpress.com are still showing in my new domain website including comments and likes? What happens to my followers ?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Domain mapping results in a seamless redirect of URLs to the new domain URls so none of those are concerns when you domain map. Duplicate – answered at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/domain-question-66?replies=2#post-2649084

  I like to clarify one thing. If you want your wordpress blog to run from wordpress.com and with custom url or domain name. Then you can buy from any domain registrar and use wordpress redirect URL feature. Bluehost is good for hosting rather than domains. If you bought any hosting from them, then you have to migrate from here using import export plugin without any issues. Same time, you dont want there hosting, then follow @timethief guidelines.
