  Hi Laura,

  Are you using the domain you registered here, or will you be using a different domain at BlueHost?

  If you’re using sequinsatbreakfast.com/, we suggest that you transfer your domain to BlueHost, so all your server/domain info is housed at the same place. This streamlines the process for you.

  Here’s information about transferring your domain:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  If you’re using the domain you just registered with us, it’ll take 60 days until you’re able to make that move. In the meantime, you can adjust your WordPress name servers to point to your self-hosted site.

  After your site is transferred to BlueHost and ready to launch, you’ll want to map your domain to point to your new blog. You shouldn’t do any remapping until the site is ready to go live, however, or your domain will point to an empty-looking page.

  Let me know if I can help during this process. Thanks!
