  Hi. Domain Name question. I am moving to a new, bespoke, service. I will be taking my domain with me. “cool sierras.com”. I therefore do NOT want to renew for a year with WordPress. My service expired, as it should, but now I can’t get to my wordpress site at its original address “lostolmos.wordpress.com”. All I get is a nag screen. How do I revert my wordpress site back to its original, default, free, domain of lostolmos.wordpress.com Thanks

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

  I’ve removed the expired upgrade for you, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore.

  Let me know if I can help with anything else!

  Hi.. whenever i type in the domain, its still redirecting to a wordpress page. Do I need to contact the technical admin to change records, or is there something wordpress should be doing?

  Thanks

  You’ll need to update the name servers associated with your domain in order to have it point somewhere other than WordPress.com. To do this, you’ll need to log into your account with your registrar.
