  I’m trying to move to a self hosted site, but keep my domain name that i bought through wordpress.com. I know I need to change the nameservers to point towards my new host, but can’t find where I do this.

  Thanks

  Thanks auxclass,
  I’ve read this a few times. The problem is that there doesn’t appear to be a ‘Domain Administration’ link.

  My mapped site has the domain name not at WordPress.COM – it sounds like there might be a problem with the instructions – I can’t look at your Dashboard so I will flag this for the staff to help you and maybe fix the instructions

  You need to be logged in as the user who owns the domain to see the administration options.

  The old log in as the owner trick – should have thought of suggesting that – bit fuzzy today I guess
