  I’ve been trying for over 24 hours to get the password set up for WordPress set up. When I bought the domain it sent me the link to set up my password: I immediately clicked it and it said link was expired so I went to the link that says if your link is expired to do so I clicked it and out in my emails and it said it sent me a link to reset my pass and nothing. Ice tri d it numerous times.

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Unknown
  Correct account: Unknown

  Hi there –

  I’m not clear on what’s happening because when I go to your domain teamfloridaofpensacola.com I see it’s hosted through Dream Host.

  It’s not using our managed hosting environment from WordPress.com.

  For help, I would contact them first. Otherwise, there’s a volunteer network available for folks who run their own WordPress installations, which is how you’re set up. That is available at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  It’s important to understand what WordPress.com is, and what we offer as part of our managed environment. I’ve written a bit below for you about that.

  On WordPress.com our team offers a managed hosting environment. This means that we handle all the back end details of the site. Things like back ups, updates, security, spam, seo, ssl, mobile optimization, top notch hosting specs, and sorting out any errors or bugs that pop up along the way. When you run a stand alone WordPress installation, like what y’all have set up, then all of those details fall on to you – so instead of being able to focus on content you spend a ton of time and frustration fixing these sort of issues.

  All of our hosting plans are available on https://wordpress.com/pricing/ If you think a managed environment is a better setup for the project and your experience level then we can talk more about how to move your site over and what’s involved with that process. We can help you get started and moving your site as part of the personal plan.
