  Hi there,

  I’m not sure I understood correctly your question.
  Do you have a domain registered on WordPress.com that you would like to point to a site hosted on Bluehost?
  If that is the case you will need to edit the domain on Domains page.

  Or, you are trying to redirect beautifulsweethappy.wordpress.com (as well as all of your permalinks) to your new domain name (and host)?
  In that case, you might need a Site Redirect upgrade.

  Here is the page that has details on managing your domains:

  And here is the one about Site Redirect:

  Site Redirect

  If all of the above doesn’t help you or you have more questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help!

  Hi beautifulsweethappy,

  I’m following up on the modlook tag added to this thread. I see you recently cancelled beautifulsweethappy.com. Did you want to keep this domain registered with WordPress.com and point it to another host?

  Cancelling a domain means giving up ownership, so it’s not something we recommend doing if it will be needed in the future. The good news is, I can restore the domain back to your site — it can then be pointed to another host. If you are happy to proceed, just reply to confirm and I can look at restoring beautifulsweethappy.com.

  The domain was cancelled outside of the refund window so it is paid up until the original expiry date next year.

  
  @bindlegirl — thanks for all your help!

  Thank you, all!

  Yes, I definitely did not want to cancel it! I only intended on downgrading but maybe that was the same thing? Either way, I would LOvE my domain back 😬

  I do have a specific IP address to point to Bluehost that they gave me yesterday.

  Also, I purchased Bluehost/Wordpress.org account with the intention of creating a blog I could potentially monetize in the future. The content I had on my website(currently not working) is the content I would like seen (theme… ect. ).

  Thanks again :)
