You will have to host the blog at somewhere like godaddy, bluehost, etc.

This question is most easily answered if you give us specifics, eg my blog is whatever.wordpress.com and I want to use whatever.com on my new site OR i want to still use whatever.wordpress.com on my new site. (hint: the latter is not possible)

Because if you didn't have the hits on your .com blog yet to justify having ads placed on your blog, then you should probably stay here on .com and work on building your fanbase before self-hosting.

One follow up question: can I use the same blog name in wordpress.org that I have registered with wordpress.com? -(It matches the domain name I bought that I plan to give my blog.)

(I own the domain name through bluehost that I would like to attach to my blog.)

Also, if I need to re-register with wordpress.org, can I keep the same name that I have at wordpress.com?

Thanks!
