  My registrar is Bluehost, so now that I am Premium on WordPress I called them for the DNS info. Their support told me I have to get the DNS from WordPress and enter them into Bluehost in order to map my domain. I cannot find any name servers anywhere on my account. I DO see name servers in my Bluehost account though. I am not sure how to complete this process. Also, I thought once you pay for WordPress you get ‘Support?’ Instead it’s still telling me to use the forums…

  Hi,

  You need to add the WordPress.com nameservers on your domain as instructed in this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  The WordPress.com nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  You can request your domain registrar’s (Bluehost) assistance in adding these to your domain. When they are added, within 72 hours the domain will start loading your WordPress.com site.

  Once the domain is pointing to your WordPress.com site, you can update your primary domain at http://wordpress.com/my-domains

  Also, you can contact us at http://wordpress.com/help

  Hope that helps!
