  I bought a domain for my blog through WordPress but would like to revert to the original WordPress.com domain and use my custom domain to point to another website but I can’t seem to find any option through the domain manager to do this.

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

  In order to point your domain registered with WordPress.com, you’ll need to update the name server values under Store > Domains, Domain Administration section, select Make changes to DNS.

  This support article describes the necessary steps in detail:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/

  You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)
