  I cancelled webhosting services with Bluehost and now am with eNom. Having trouble connecting wordpress to my webhost. I had glennaustin.com. But when I cancelled Bluehost I was getting 404 errors.

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

  If you want glennaustin.com to be displayed in the address bar when someone visits your blog here – then yes you need domain mapping for $ 13.- / year

  I think if I want WordPress to host my site then the $13/year gets my domain into the address bar. But if a 3rd party (Dreamhost, in my case) hosts the website, then I don’t need to pay this $13. Does that sound right?
