  I just found out from Hostgator that the owner of my domain name “englishspeaklikenative.com” is Wildwestdomains but I had purchased it from wordpress.com. I called Wildwestdomains and they advised me that I need to contact wordpress.com to update the nameserver details.
  I already have done that but not sure if that’s all I have to do or how long it takes to come into effect . Please advise of a solution.

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

  Hey there!

  You can adjust your domain’s name servers here:

  https://wordpress.com/my-domains

  Click Edit Domain next to your custom domain name, then click the Name Servers tab. That’s where you’ll see the fields to change your name servers. Make sure to save your changes!

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

  Thanks a lot.
  I have done that but i wasn’t sure if it would work….still hasn’t. I got an automated email from wordpress telling me that it might take 24-48 hours for the change to come into effect. So I’ll give it that.
  It’s very good to know that one has some support here :), thanks a million.

  Just to let you guys know, now i’m typing the domain name+wp-admin and it’s taking me to that URL http://englishspeaklikenative.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi

  Just want to make sure that’s part of the 24-hr transition or should I call Hostgator and ask them to take a look?

  Thanks in advance for the support.

  Cheers,
