Need to Separate Domains Please
-
I added a new domain under my original address, but I actually want it to be a separate site/blog.
the other issue is, I never made that new domain with the .wordpress.com address, is that a problem?
So, I need
1. to move the new domain (coachfresh.org) to it’s own site/blog;
2. then I want to export data from my current blog so that I can work on the new blog while keeping the current blog up and running.3. The other thing is email. So I also purchased the Gmail option (for coachfresh.org); can I move that with the new domain? My current domain already has an email, which I will also be forwarding to the new one once I set it up.
Current active site: affirmativeacts.org
New (fully registered) Domain, needs it’s own blog: coachfresh.orgCan you help?
Thanks so much,
Fresh!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You’re welcome. I could provide instructions but I believe you would be better served by Staff.

Let’s take this one thing at a time:
1. to move the new domain (coachfresh.org) to it’s own site/blog;
What is the ______.wordpress.com URL of the new site? If you haven’t created it yet, you’ll need to do that before I can move the domain.

Thanks Root!,
I tried that and it says it’s reserved. I’m hoping by me, but I really don’t recall if I did that already. Is there a way to find out who owns it?

I’m afraid that isn’t what I was looking for.
What WordPress.com site do you want coachfresh.org to point to?
-
Thank you!!
Once I set it up, the Affirmative Acts will point to it.
If that’s not your question…The other answer is, my DNS server will point to coachfresh.orgHope that helps!!

I think we need to back up a step here. I was under the impression that you wanted coachfresh.org to point to another (new) WordPress.com site. In the same way that you currently have affirmativeacts.org pointing to http://affirmativeactscoaching.wordpress.com/ ? Or, are you looking to set up a new self-hosted WordPress site using the software available at WordPress.org and a webhost such as GoDaddy or BlueHost?
Also, I’m seeing that you attempted to register coachfresh.org here at WordPress.com, but whois data shows it as being registered at GKG.NET.
http://who.is/whois/coachfresh.org
Could you have registered it at GKG.net and then tried to register it a second time at WordPress.com as part of your Google Apps purchase?

I'm sorry this is so confusing. Here is my intention:
I'm going to leave Affirmativeacts.org as my website and contact. My new biz name will be Coach Fresh!
This means, I'm keeping Affirmativeacts for at least a year as I rebrand as Coach Fresh! –
So I purchased coachfresh.org from GKG with the intention of setting up an additional blog on WordPress.com which should be: coachfresh.org pointing to coachfresh.wordpress.com ________________
So, instead of going to WP and setting up coachfresh.org – I signed into Affirmativeactscoaching and created a new domain, thinking it would be a different blog – (maybe it is, and I'm just confused).
So, at the end of the day, I'd like my main blog/site to be coachfresh.org ____________…I'm beginning to have my own doubts about what I'm doing now, LOL! ________________
Thanks for your assistance. Sincerely, Fresh! -
with the intention of setting up an additional blog on WordPress.com which should be: coachfresh.org pointing to coachfresh.wordpress.com
Okay!
So, all you need to do is go to this link:
https://signup.wordpress.com/start/
…and create a new WordPress.com site. Then I will move coachfresh.org over to it.
-
Yes, Thank you! As I mentioned above; it’s reserved.
Trouble is, I can’t tell you if I reserved it or not. Sorry.
Can you see who reserved it?Thanks again.
-
You did not reserve it, I’m afraid.
However, as you are using a custom domain (coachfresh.org ), the _____.wordpress.com URL doesn’t really matter, as your viewers will only ever see coachfresh.org. You could register thecoachfresh.wordpress.com or coachingfresh.wordpress.com or even coachfreshyupyupyupyup.wordpress.com. Anything will work.
-
Okay, I did it!
I created yaycoachfresh.wordpress.com
the yupyupyup was attractive, but no longer original :-)
I just need 5 minutes to finish setting it up, then I'll log out.
Thanks,
Fresh! -

Goes to show, nothing beats an old fashioned phone conversation… At least for an old guy like me. I know you are busy and I thought this would be finished 4 days ago.
I’m going to rebuild the old blog, I needed something yesterday. I totally get that your busy and it’s my fault.
I’m wondering, if I can just refund everything otherwise, I’ll just use that blog for something else.
Thanks so much and hope you’re out enjoying the weekend.
Best,
Fresh! -
I’m sorry that this didn’t come together for you as you had wished.
I would be happy to refund your payments or to help you set up the domain.
-
You’re so kind, Thank you!
I’m going to spend the evening considering if I really want to change my brand over which is what this is about.
Have a wonderful night, Fresh! Fresh! White, CPCC – Affirmative Acts Coachinghttp://affirmativeacts.org/*In order to have Peace, we must Be Peace.” Fresh!
