  Hi there,

  Name servers can only be changed at the registrar where the domain is registered. If your domain is registered with Bluehost, that means you’ll only be able to change the name servers with them. So this is how it’s supposed to work.

  What exactly are you trying to do? I see you have a domain mapping upgrade for that domain on your account, but that’s used if you want your WordPress.com site to appear at that domain.

  If you’re trying to set up a site on a hosting account with Bluehost instead, and you want to move your WordPress.com site over to them, you need to follow the steps outlined here:

  https://move.wordpress.com/

  In that case you don’t need a domain mapping upgrade on our end.
