  I upgraded my blog, Sacred Parenting / sacredparent.com / parentingsacred.wordpress.com to use the domain sacredparent.com. I have since purchased hosting through BlueHost.com – I am now having an issue using the domain within the hosting account. I do not have access to the name servers from wildwestdomains.com. How do I proceed to take advantage of the hosting I’ve purchased while still using the same domain?

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

  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.
