  Hi,

  I need to use plug-ins on my WordPress site, and I didn’t realize that signing up for my domain from WordPress prevents me from doing this. Because of this, I need to purchase hosting from another site, but I also need to transfer my domain to this new host. Can you please provide me with the steps for doing this? Thank you,

  Rebekah

  You are welcome to keep your domain with us and update the nameservers to point to another hosting provider by following this guide:

  After 60 days from the date of purchase, renewal, or nameserver change, you may also transfer your domain to another registrar.
