How to Move WordPress from WordPress.com to Personal Hosting

How to Move WordPress from WordPress.com to Personal Hosting. There are many reasons why we should move from wordpress.com which is free to paid hosting with private domain.

The simplest reason is because we want to have a domain with the name that you want. In addition, using a domain and private hosting makes the web more credible in the eyes of the reader.
