  Hi vivapuertovallarta

  Can you let us know the domain name that you are referring here and what exactly you are trying to achieve?

  Hi there! The domain name is thebackpackersdiningclub.com and I have bought the domain name with Bluehost but when I try to log in through Bluehost it says Domain Is Parked.

  After speaking to Bluehost, they said:

  You need to contact “WordPress.com” and tell them to change the
  Name servers to
  1) ns1.bluehost.com
  2) ns2.bluehost.com
  and
  A record to : 162.241.219.155 IP

  Hi there,

  I have restored the domain thebackpackersdiningclub.com back to your WordPress.com account. Please follow these instructions to change the nameservers and point it to Bluehost:
