  I registered the domain subverseradio.com for my blog over a year ago. Since then, I have decided not to renew and instead to transfer to another host. As far as I am aware, I have gone through all the correct stops to cancel the registration and transfer it to the new host at 123-reg.co.uk. Despite this, going to subverseradio.com continues to direct to the wordpress blog. Is there anything that can be done to stop this from happening?

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

  Although subverseradio.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up.

  WHOIS data shows subverseradio.com as being registered at http://www.123-reg.co.uk. However, it is still showing as having WordPress.com nameservers. You will need to log into your http://www.123-reg.co.uk account and change the nameservers there to point at your new webhost.
