 * I bought my domain name through GoDaddy, signed up and bought their hosting but
   now I want a theme only available to WordPressers . . . should I set up an acct
   with WordPress and pay the extra $13-18 to switch over so I can get the theme
   I want?

 * Which theme is it?
 * You can’t get commercial themes from WordPress.COM and transfer them to your 
   self-hosted installation. None of the premium themes are available that way*.
   But the freely available themes may have a WordPress.ORG version here.

 * *The exception is a commercial theme from the original vendor.

 * I did download the theme from the developer’s site but the theme that’s on the
   wordpress site shows a tag line which the one I downloaded doesn’t seem to want
   to show
