no hosting with WordPress?
-
I have two domains with WordPress. Can I redirect hose to two different hosts and still access my posts via WordPress? Will the corresponding posts go with the right domain?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can always access your WordPress.com site’s posts here:
https://therightthingblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php
You can point the domains you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:
You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)
If you have additional questions, please let us know :-)

1. Under Support in Domains>>change name servers, it states: “primary domain is the address visitors will see in their address bar” What if the domain is not with WordPress?
2. What if the primary domain is no longer with WordPress, but, say, with Bluehost?
3. Do I have to change “name servers” in Domain Management when I relocate my domain with Bluehost?
4. What else besides the domain do I transfer to Bluehost?
5. WordPress recommends using Bluehost as “host” instead of WordPress, but I get a host :) of questions, like if I want to transfer other (?) features besides the hosting?
6. What else is “included” in transferring to Bluehost besides just the domain? -
A Primary Domain for a WordPress.com site can either be a domain registered with WordPress.com or a domain registered elsewhere, but mapped to a WordPress.com site.
A site’s Primary Domain can be set to a domain chosen via a Site Redirect Upgrade, as well.
If you want to point your WordPress.com domain to Bluehost, you will need to update your domain’s name servers, as previously stated:
If you want to transfer the content from your WordPress.com site to your new, Bluehost-hosted site, check out the following support page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

Please visit the following link for a clear explanation of the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:
This should help clarify what you get with a WordPress.org site at a hosting provider like Bluehost, versus a WordPress.com site.
Let us know if you have any more questions.

Here is where my questions start:
1. I looked at the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org several times.
2. It does not mention anything of: “if you want to transfer your content…” as referred in the above email. What does that mean and how / where is that referred to?
3. I have looked at the http://en.support.wordpress.com/-vs-org several times, but cannot see the connection :( -
Previously, I linked to this support page:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
Did you check it out? It has information on transferring content from a WordPress.com site to a WordPress.org site.
If I’ve misunderstood the issue, or if you have any other questions, please let me know.
