  I am trying to connect my website to the domain I already own. My website is hosted on here, but it no longer connects to the domain I have already purchased. I currently use bluehost for http://www.alexandrafolino.com. Can you inform me what the next steps are? Thank you!

  Hi there,

  In order to use your domain hosted elsewhere with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at Bluehost, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
