  Dear Support Team,

  I have attempted to move my blog from wordpress.com to wordpress.org … However I haven’t been able to log-in to my new dashboard.

  I’ve just had a live chat with the BlueHost team and the staff told me I need to contact wordpress.com and change my DNS and A Record.

  DNS: from ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com
  A Record: to 50.87.249.93

  Please let me know if you need any information from me (I’m totally new to this!). Thank you so much :)

  Bee

  The blog I need help with is beesjourney.com.

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

  Hi @beexoomsai , actually you would just update your nameservers, then Bluehost would take care of the A record. All of that is done and I can see your “Coming Soon” site at its new address.
