    Hi. I have been looking into setting up my own self hosted wordpress.org blog and migrating away from WordPress.com.

    I changed the name servers to Dreamhost but after failing to migrate my WP install successfully, I’m trying to revert back to good old WordPress.com.

    I’ve changed the name servers back to WordPress.com (within the WordPress.com admin panel under Domains>Name servers but my site is now down and in the WHOIS data, it says:

    clientUpdateProhibited http://www.icann.org/epp#clientUpdateProhibited

    How can I get my WordPress.com site back up and working again?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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

    Cheers @timethief you are right. Just checked myself and sure enough, the name servers have reverted back to wordpress name servers.

    Phew. Must have been a bit impatient. Appreciate you posting a reply that quickly :-)
