  Hi there,

  I’m not quite sure I fully understand what you’re trying to do. You have to use WordPress.com’s name servers for sites hosted here at WordPress.com

  If you are planning on moving your site to another host and wish to redirect your current WordPress.com address to the new site, have a look here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

  If you’re trying to do something else, please provide a little more detail as to what you would like to do so we can help you figure out the best way to accomplish your task.

  Ok, I understand now. I’m assuming you have a custom domain besides tradisionalalternatif.wordpress.com since that one can’t be moved, only redirected.

  Here’s the instructions on pointing your custom domain name registered through WordPress.com to a different host: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/setting-custom-a-records/

  Finally, if you’ve registered your custom domain name through a third party, you’ll need to follow their documentation or your new hosts documentation for configuring your domain to work with their services.

  I hope that helps get you going in the right direction :)

  How long ago did you register your domain name? If it’s too new you can’t change the name servers yet:

  In some cases though, this option may not be available. For example, if you just registered your domain, you won’t be able to transfer it for 60 days. Also, some hosts simply don’t support domain registration transfers.

  If that’s true in your situation, you can use the DNS tab to point your hostname to your hosted site, if it’s supported by your host.
