 * Hey,
 * I have a site on wordpress.com it is [http://www.iphone5rumours.com](http://www.iphone5rumours.com)
   
   I realized that I want the plugins offered by having a host and I already have
   hosting accounts on both Hostgator/Zybrite.
 * I’ve tried everything and read over every manual but CANT get it to work. The
   biggest issue is that I’m piecing together different bits of info from different
   sources so it would be great it someone could provide me with a step/step process.
 * I really appreciate anyone’s help, Thanks.

 * I know that Hostgator has cPanel. Here is a Codex article on [Using cPanel to install WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_cPanel).
 * Once you have your database, here is a tutorial on [moving the blog contents](http://www.optiniche.com/blog/388/wpcom-to-wp/).
