  I currently have my domain name registered with Register.com and hosted by hostgator.com.

  All I want to do is just move the hosting of my site over to Register.com

  Not sure how to do this?

  Thanks,
  Kerry

  Hey Kerry,
  I would read article about moving your wordpress site(so you have everything backed up) before contacting the hosting services.
  So you need to contact hostgator.com and tell them you want to move.
  They have some info on their site (http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/website-transfers/hostgator-website-transfers#qualifies).
  You will also need to contact register.com so they can get ready on their end (https://www.register.com/product/webhosting.rcmx)

  Let me know if you need any more details
