    I access WP directly for my personal blog. I have also inherited another WP site that is accessed through BlueHost, which I find unneccessary. When my BlueHost contract ends, how do I log in to the site directly?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there,

    I understand you want to streamline your website management process, and I’d be happy to help. Let me clarify a few things first: WordPress.com and Bluehost are two distinct hosting providers. This means that rogerscountydemocrats.com, which is currently hosted on Bluehost, will not be directly managed through WordPress.com unless it’s moved over here.

    The good news is that we’ve created a tool that can automatically handle the migration from Bluehost to WordPress.com. To learn more about this and get step-by-step instructions, you can visit: https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-using-move-to-wordpress-com/

    Once the migration is done, you can access and manage rogerscountydemocrats.com directly from your WordPress.com dashboard. Just ensure you complete the migration before your Bluehost plan expires to avoid any potential access issues.

    I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.

    When my BlueHost contract ends, how do I log in to the site directly?

    If you don’t renew it then when your Bluehost contract ends the site will no longer exist and you will also lose the domain address too. Are you saying the site is unnecessary, the domain address is unnecessary or you feel the site being at Bluehost is unnecessary?

    If you want to keep site and domain address it would be possible to move the site contents and domain to here at WordPress.com like gerrymooneyillustratingdickens.com if you purchased another paid plan.
