  You don’t have access to database or folders.

  Your site is https://smokesignalshq.wordpress.com/
  Your WP admin is https://smokesignalshq.wordpress.com/wp-admin

  We wordpress.COM bloggers do not have access to those files; only Staff do. To create WordPress.COM content backups see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#backups

  Okay, so if I already have a domain and hosting on Godaddy – how do I go about doing that?

  They seem set on a content folder and backup.

  You post to the correct support forum for help. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

  Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin.

  You are posting to the wrong support forum.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
