  For lots of reasons my host in justhost.com and I have a new wordpress website within it.

  I would like to redirect traffic to http://www.harwoodwatercraft.com. Can I do this?

  I don’t want to loose the http://www.harwoodwatercraft.com website (definately), I just want people redirected.

  Is this possible?

  Thanks
  Blog url: http://harwoodwatercraft.wordpress.com/

  It sounds like you may be interested in our Site Redirect upgrade, which automatically redirects visitors to your new site:

  Okay

  i have been there, but I don’t want my http://www.harwoodwatercraft.com website deleted.

  If people click harwoodwatercraft.wordpress.com I want them to go to http://www.harwoodwatercraft.com and no longer see harwoodwatercraft.wordpress.com

  It is not clear when I click this.

  KAren :)

  Hi Karen,

  It sounds like you’d like to map hardwoodwatercraft.com to your WordPress URL. Mapping a custom domain to your blog means that when visitors type in your domain name — hardwoodwatercraft.com — they will see your WordPress blog, but the site URL will not include .wordpress.com. Is this what you would like to do?

  If so, instructions for mapping a domain to your WordPress.com site can be found here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  The Site Redirect, on the other hand, is useful if you’re moving from your WordPress.com URL. In this case, visitors to your old blog would simply be redirected to your new site.

  I hope this helps to clarify things!

  Hi

  Thanks for the help, but it is not what I want. I think ulimately I have to delete the wordpress. com website and just have the .com website. I am not doing it at the moment, I don’t need any errors and to loose my .com website

  Karen :)
