How to point my domain properly to the new host

    DNS Can someone take the time to help get the DNS working properly for http://www.cambridgecoa.org ? The domain was purchased from you by this non-profit and an intern worked on the wordpress.com platform.
    Now I’m involved in making it better, and have moved it to
    NS.INTERNET-CANADA.COM IP208.80.11.140
    NS2.INTERNET-CANADA.COM IP208.77.223.234
    but references to new material that work locally, and are certainly uploaded to my host server, are continuing to be broken, while the media from the past remain intact. I don’t see where the permissions are out of line, and it seems like this domain is still referencing wordpress.com material. But here’s the really strange thing, the text edits I’m making are showing up revised. I’m stumped, and it’s been days. Help please!

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

    With firefox debugging I can see that my new images are being called html files, with access forbidden. The older ones from the original website are listed as jpgs and pngs. That’s why they work and the new ones don’t. Does that give you any suggestion of what’s gone wrong here? Help!

    Hi there,

    The domain cambridgecoa.org was originally registered here at WordPress.com, but it was transferred away to another domain registrar. It looks like the domain is now registered with eNom:

    http://who.is/whois/cambridgecoa.org

    Since the domain isn’t registered here at WordPress.com and the site isn’t hosted here, there’s not much the WordPress.com support staff can do to help with this issue. Since your site is self-hosted using the WordPress.org software, you may want to look for more help from WordPress.org:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/

    http://wordpress.org/support/

    It’s possible that you’ll need to re-import any content you exported from your WordPress.com site, or manually update the links so they point to the correct domain. The WordPress.org support forums may have more tips for managing that on your self-hosted site.
