Moving a mapped domain to wp.org on bluehost
-
I have mapped my domain – http://www.rodinhood.com to rodinhood.wordpress.com and its working great.
The domain was registered via godaddy.com
I now want to migrate to a bluehost account that I have already set up and installed the new wordpress 3.0 software on.
How do I move the site without making it go down (while the name server changes etc). I have looked everywhere and cannot find an answer.
For clarity, bluehost requires that I map the domain to them. When i do so, and in the period I export my blog etc, I dont want my site to go down. Can someone please help!!!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

honestly, its confusing – since i have already mapped my domain to wordpress, step 2 was done by me long back. when i go to go daddy, the name servers are wordpress (since they were set by me). If I tell go daddy to point to bluehost, then the site will go down. so the question is, if I need a round robin solution, where do i send bluehost again?

The site WILL go down until the DNS settles down, which can take a couple of days. It usually works pretty well within an hour or so, though. I am assuming you’re changing the nameservers correctly, but ultimately that’s not a WordPress issue.
