  Hi. I have a wordpress.com blog. But I needed to be able to host interactive files, so I signed up for bluehost. I installed a version of wordpress on bluehost and exported my wordpress.com blog, and imported it there. Do i need to cancel the domain mapping i had on my wordpress.com blog? Because right now. I can’t get to the bluehost files on a browser. I think it’s just sending it back to my old blog?

  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You need to change your nameservers to point your domain to your bluehost site. You would do this through your domain registrar.

  Thanks. It’s working now. But I have one more question:

  Before, I had my domain registered with Netfirms, and my blog on WordPress.com. In order to use the domain with the blog, I purchased domain mapping for $13 from WordPress.com.

  Now, I still have my domain registered with Netfirms, but I have purchased hosting through Bluehost, installed a WordPress.ORG installation there, and migrated my WordPress.COM site there.

  So my question is. Is there any need for me to retain that domain mapping on WordPress.COM

  Thanks!

  In that situation, you do not need to have domain mapping at WordPress.com.
