Will I lose any data and followers if I transfer to a new paid domain?
-
Hi,
Will I lose any statistics and most importantly, my followers, if I transfer my blog to a new paid domain? I already understand from your forum that all my posts will stay, only with new URLs.
Thanks! :)The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No. This isn’t a transfer. The content stays exactly where it is. All that changes is the URL and nothing else.
Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase upgrades for the blog.

See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
