  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate.
  1. Hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/
  2. Set up a WordPress.org install and equip it with a theme and plugins.
  3. Export you content out of your WordPress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/ and import it into the install.
