  trying to redirect my site back to wordpress from having it hosted on blue host. I switched the nameservers to wordpress.com, and it was working about an hour ago, but now it’s back to a blank page that says either server error or an error from Bluehost. Anything else I need to change to get this resovled? Seriously so pissed off and really wish I never would have gone to Bluehost to begin with!!!!

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

  It can take up to 72 hours for the nameservers to settle down, so wait it out.

  Do I need to change anything other than the nameservers?

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello and welcome back,
  Changing the nameservers does it but as raincoaster said it can take time for the change to propagate throughout the internet (up to 72 hours though that’s rare). See here to confirm the process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#update-nameservers

  I guess what’s so frustrating is that it works and then I refresh the page moments later and it’s gone again. Hopefully it’s totally back to working order soon!!! I’m trying to remain patient.

  That’s normal behavior. My best advice is to stop clicking in and simply find something else to do for awhile. That’s what I did when I moved my blog back from a self hosted install. :) I did some baking and made everyone happy at home. lol :D
