This post here should help you, and it's only a few days old so I guess the information is fresh. 
Thanks Renie , that was a good info in that link !
But I have one more doubt , how do i transfer my existing content in wordpress.com to wordpress.org hosted blog ?
Do i have to pay anything to wordpress.org for transfering the content and to use wordpress.org platform ?
@ Amol
Thanks for the info !
A bit of info search led me to kno that wordpress.org software is completely free to download and use.
I found that php and MYSql is mandatory for using wordpress.org platform.
Am planning to book a host space in net4.in
Any one have any idea about how good net4 is for webhosting ?
Avoide Net4 / ManasHosting..
See if you can manage a cPanel based hosting or not..
Thanks.
which plan are you lookin at ? make sure they have MYSql
Net4 would be costly and will give you less space for more money. try hostgator on which this very forum is hosted. though i have not tried yet, but it seems good.
infact, indiblogger them self are running HostGator 
, but true, avoid Net4..
that is what i said, you idili!!!
Net4 package is :
100 Mb for 899 Rs / yr
and php and MySql for Rs.1500 / yr
I don't think i would be requiring more than 100 mb / per year to startwith .
or Do I need more ?
:S
My blog is already 69 mb after blog posts of 9 months. The space will be taken up by images that you would upload and your themes, widgets etc.
Here are some sample problems you may invite yourself with unreliable webhosting
Wow ! A long way I have come since 6 months !
From planning to migrate to a owner of 4 month own self hosted site !
Congrats and great going.. Nice blog you have there..
