When you wish to move you then hire a web host and set up a WordPress.org install. Then you can move your content out of the WordPress.com blog and import it into the WordPress.org install.

If I start a blog on wordpress.com without any ads (and see if I can generate traffic) can I later have it moved by a web hosting company (aussie based probs) to be able to monetize it? Can I keep all the posts etc that I have already done and just move the whole thing? Or is it better to just start with a web hosting company in the first place...what do you think? Many thanks!! sue
