Moving WP site to new host

I have my blog currentlty hosted with wp and I am moving it over to my own domain with hosting @godaddy. I have exported my old blog and imported into the admin panel of the new blog.

Will my current followers follow me over to the new host?

Do I need to close my wp hosted blog? I’m not sure what the next step is so I can avoid duplicate web entries.

Thanks.
