  Hello,

  I am having major problems trying to change my nameservers. I purchased http://www.joeyxoto.com domain on wordpress. I would now like to host this domain on hostgator. I have entered the hostgator name servers in the DNS records on the domain settings, however this does not work.

  There are no options to enter nameserver details on the settings page.. Please can you (on your end) change my name servers to:

  ns595.hostgator.com
  ns596.hostgator.com

  Thanks
  Blog url: http://joeyxoto.wordpress.com/

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

  Yes… I don’t have any of those options when trying to change my nameservers… I am running the blog on wordpress.com and its hosted by wordpress.

  I believe the above guide is applicable to a .org blog; but either way, I don’t have those options. There is another guide on changing DNS records, however that doesn’t work eitehr as hostgator only provide nameservers and not a full DNS record to paste into wordpress…

  How do I get WP to contact me on this?? Can we only post in forums?

  It looks like you purchased your domain name through Godaddy – if so you need to change the name servers over there and you will need to log into your account at Godaddy
