  Hi there,

  The domain in question seems to still be pointing to BlueHost.

  You’ll need to make the domain name server records point to WordPress.com name servers.

  1.) If your domain is registered elsewhere, you’ll need to first make the domain name server records point to WordPress.com.
  (your domain registrar should have instructions for doing this or you can contact their support)

  2.) Set the primary site address to the domain of old URL under Settings -> General
  (If it’s a custom domain, you’ll first need to map the domain under Upgrades → Domains)

  Hi there,

  If you’re looking at pointing your domain to your Bluehost hosted site, then you need to contact both your domain registrar and Bluehost.

  We’re WordPress.com a different hosting provider. If you want to host your site with us, let me know and I can further help you.
