  Hi,

  I manage http://www.strohsoccercup.com with wordpress.com. As I prefer to use worpdress.org in the future, I have already pointed the servers to bluehost so that I can use wordpress.org instead.

  When I try to login, I still get to wordpress.com instead of wordpress.org.

  Can you advice what steps need to be done.

  THX Michael

  Regardless of where you point your domain, you still need to maintain its registration, and your domain expired a little over 2 weeks ago.

  You can renew it here:

  Also, your domain is still using WordPress.com name servers.

  You can point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  Let us know if you have any more questions.
