  Hi WordPress,

  I’m struggling!!

  I have had http://www.WG-Fit.com as a domain name pointing to my wordpress.com blog of the same name for some time, and I’ve been very happy.
  However, as I’m now looking to do more with my site, including eCommerce, I am moving it to a hosted site.

  I’ve downloaded wordpress to my host, I have received confirmation from the host.
  Here’s the relevant part:

  “A new installation of WordPress 4.1.2 has been completed. The details of the installation are shown below:
  Path : /content/standard/w/g/wg-fit.com/web/wp
  URL : http://wg-fit.com/wp
  Admin URL : http://wg-fit.com/wp/wp-admin/
  Admin Username : wgfit”

  However, when I use the admin URL, or type in http://www.wg-fit.com, I get brought here:
  https://en.wordpress.com/typo/?subdomain=wg-fit

  And now I’m stuck!

  Can you guys help me out so I can get the new site up and running?

  Thanks

  Dave Hedges

  Try updating you domain’s name servers to point to your new, self-hosted WordPress.org site at the domain’s registrar, REGISTER.IT SPA:

  http://who.is/whois/wg-fit.com

  Then, clear your browser’s cache:

  Keep in mind, DNS changes may take some time to become fully effective.
