  Hi promiseholland,

  promiseholland.com uses WordPress.org software and is hosted by Bluehost. Therefore, the process for changing domains will be a bit different compared to sites hosted on WordPress.com.

  If you haven’t done so already, you’ll want to register a domain and then follow these steps for changing it on the site itself:

  The WordPress.org support forums will be the best place to post if you have questions about any of the steps mentioned there:

  promiseholland.com was registered through Bluehost so it will need to be cancelled through the account you have with them (if you don’t wish to keep it).

  I hope this helps.
