  Hi, I started out with a wordpress site and paid for it. Then I decided I wanted to use bluehost so I ended my subscription with wordpress and bought with bluehost. I wanted to use my same domain but it still says I have a temporary domain. How can I get my domain name to become active or show up the way I want it to?

  Hi there, I don’t see any paid domains on this account — can you log out and log back in with the username you used to purchase that?

  Generally speaking, if you still own the domain here, you can transfer it as long as it’s at least 60 days old:

  If it’s not that old yet, you can point it to Bluehost then transfer later. Just be sure you’ve updated settings on your hosting and installation as well.
