    So I created my word press account and then went and signed up on blue host. I guess I should have done blue host first. my domain name on blue host is LOVECKB.COM. I do have the two connected, but when I’m edited my site on word press is still showing the old free domain name I chose when I first created my word press account.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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

    loveckb.com is a domain hosted at the host Bluehost.

    The free site bycourtneybisig.wordpress.com is hosted at the host WordPress.com. They are two different sites in two different places. Either build your site at Bluehost or if you wish to connect that domain to the bycourtneybisig.wordpress.com site you’d need to upgrade here from free to a paid plan.

    PS If you had just upgraded your free site here to a paid annual plan in the first place you could have registered your custom address for free for the first year.

    Hey there,

    As mentioned, on these forums, we can only assist with WordPress.com related issues. Therefore, I wanted to remind you about the option to migrate your WordPress site to our servers.

    The content alone can be moved by exporting from Tools > Export, and then imported as per these steps here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/ (Tools import). To get the storage you need, and to be able to use a custom primary domain, a paid plan would need to be in place: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    Alternatively, a site can be migrated into WordPress.com, as is – including all content, themes and plugins. We make the migration process easy with the WordPress.com Migration plugin, which you can find at this link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/.

    A site being migrated into WordPress.com using this plugin would require a WordPress.com Business Plan.

    We provide a fully managed hosting service with a custom server environment, specifically optimized for WordPress. This means you’ll benefit from built-in security measures, performance improvements, and in-house support to address any questions or concerns you may have.

    Migrating your site to WordPress.com may initially seem like a daunting task, but the advantages of our fully managed hosting service outweigh the effort involved. With our optimized server environment and tailored version of WordPress, you’ll have access to the best possible hosting service for your WordPress website.

    However, if you decide not to migrate your site to WordPress.com, don’t worry! We still want to ensure you receive the help you need. The open-source WordPress forums are available to provide support, where you can connect with experts in WordPress who are well-equipped to assist you with any issues you may encounter.

    We hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you for considering WordPress.com as your hosting solution!
