    If it is in cpanel, your host should be able to migrate it for you and just push it over to the new account.

    Is it possible to transfer all of the posts and its contents even if it is on a free host blog like wordpress, blogpost etc...to a paid host?

    I don't think so that its possible to transfer posts and all contents from free host blog like you.wordpress.com or you.blogger.com to paid host because you don't have any hosting access there.

    DON.

    you export the database from your old hosting, then import to the new hosting
    then configulate the database detail in wp_config.php.

    I am pretty sure it is possible. Ask wordpress.com if you can't make a backup there.
