    I have a current free page at http://www.hbauld.wordpress.com and I want to convert it to the $4 a month ($48 a year) paid premium page and get rid of the ads. How do I do that? I also own a domain name (www.hbauld.com) registered through bluehost.com and I want to move that to WordPress and change my page to that domain. How do I do that?

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

    Hi hbauldjr,

    You may upgrade your plan through this link : https://wordpress.com/plans

    For transferring your domain to WordPress, here is a link on how to do it:

    Let me know if this works for you.
    Thanks!

    Joshron,

    I followed all of the steps in the above links you sent me and I was successful in upgrading to the premium plan, as you listed in the first link.

    I followed all the steps with BlueHost and confirmed the site was UNLOCKED and ready to transfer my domain name.

    I followed the steps in the second link and ran into a brick wall on one of them. After I VERIFIED that they could get in touch with me, I clicked on the block marked GET A DOMAIN VERIFICATION CODE.

    I called BlueHost and got the Domain Verification Code (EPP) emailed to be from Blue Host.

    That was several hours ago and I still have NOT received an email from WordPress to enter the Domain Verification Code I obtained from Blue Host. I checked the SPAM folder and it is also not there.

    Am I not supposed to receive an email from WordPress to enter the Domain Verification Code I obtained from Blue Host?

    Thank you,

    Sonny

    Joshron,

    Please disregard my previous submission on how to complete the transfer process of the domain registration to WordPress.

    I have been able to go over to the page again and have progressed onward this time to the end, entering the EPP Domain Auth Code in the proper place.

    I submitted the request and received confirmation that the transfer of my domain registration from Blue Host to WordPress might take up to 7 days.

    Thank you very much for all of your help and I apologize for “jumping the gun” with the previous request to you before I had completed all of the required steps.

    HBAuldJr.
