  Hi clairescosylittlehome,

  Just to confirm — do you want to move followers from clairescosylittlehome.wordpress.com, to http://6nj.cc9.myftpupload.com/?

  Also, it sounds like you wish to redirect anyone visiting the old site, to the new one automatically. Is that correct?

  Hi there,

  Please contact your hosting provider to help you change that temporary domain to your normal domain and when you’re done let us know as we’ll move your followers.

  Hi Claire,

  I have successfully transferred your followers to your new site.

  Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you. I’m happy to help.

  You can purchase the Site Redirect upgrade:

  You have a few options. The most common would be:

  1) The good old link to your new blog. You could set up a static page which encourages people to read your new blog. You can view the support article on doing so here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

  2) You could purchase the Site Redirect upgrade: https://en.support.wordpress.com/site-redirect/

  Let me know if you have any further questions. :)
