  I just paid for my wordpress.com blog to be redirected to my wordpress.org blog. My registration for my wordpress.com blog expired yesterday. do I still need to renew my registration if I paid for it to be redirected?

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

  Howdy,

  The registration still needs to be paid—that’s the actual “lease” to use poshbarn.com anywhere on the Internet.

  If you used poshbarn.com as the primary domain for your WordPress.com site, we can have it point to your new hosting provider and refund the Site Redirect upgrade. (If you told folks to visit you at http://poshbarndotcom.wordpress.com, then we’ll still need it).

  First, on your host, where you’re using WordPress.org, if you can add on poshbarn.com to point to your new site, then we can make the changes here without impacting visitors to your site. Your host’s support company should be able to help with this piece.

  From your new host, I’d need to know the nameservers for the host and I can make the change on this end.

  If you have any questions, please do let me know. Cheers!
