   hello I am currently using wordpress.com for my website and would like to make the move to .org but I am having difficulty understanding the process. My domain name http://www.weplayhau5.com is currently registered at go daddy, what are the next steps I must take? Thanks for any help you can provide!

   do you also have hosting with someone? if not, you will need to do that.
   then you will need to assign your domain name servers or DNS - the host you sign up with will help you with this
   you will need to download the wordpress software - link at top of this page- and install it
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress
   or choose a host that has a one click install of wordpress

   if you want to import the content from your .com site to your .org site

   Hi i've followed your directions and i just purchased hosting via blue host but I am still getting a .com login when i go to /wp-admin. Should the process be instant or is there a waiting period for the switch?

   Did you point your nameserver to bluehost?
