    Previously I spoke with someone on wordpress about moving over the website and having it hosted on bluehost.com where I have bought my domain name gotyme.net and have emails. After being instructed on what to do (which did not solve the problem but in fact made things much worse) I am trying to reset everything back to normal so that I just have the domain name (gotyme.net) mapped over to this website. As of now the theme I have chosen as well as pages etc. does not show up correctly and is instead just showing some strange type of “HELLO WORLD” page which I have not created at all. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me reset my wordpress and start fresh, I have already purchased the premium and obviously want to keep that but all else I just want to start from scratch so I can get this website up and running. I have been trying to solve this problem for going on 3 weeks not and still have not been able to find anyone of this site to help fix it, I beg of you HELP!!

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

    It looks like your domain is still pointing to the bluehost servers:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=gotyme.net

    Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

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

    For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

    Your WordPress.com site can be seen here:

    http://gotymedotnet.wordpress.com/

    If you are still being sent to http://gotyme.net/ when you try to visit http://gotymedotnet.wordpress.com/, please clear your browser’s cache (or try using a different browser). Once http://gotyme.net/ has the correct nameservers, we can switch gotymedotnet.wordpress.com to display as gotyme.net again.

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Ok I have no done that (Although I was told to do this before and it not only didnt fix the problem but screwed up my email at bluehost.com). Just so I am being clear because I am new to the website building, I want the domain name gotyme.net to show when typed in the website that is being shown now at gotymedotnet.wordpress.com. The same theme and pages I have created for that webpage I want to come up when gotyme.net is typed in, without my emails at bluehost.com being screwed up. If all I have to do in order to get that result was change the name severs on bluehost to ns1… ns2…. ns3.wordpress.com I have done that.

    Changing nameservers will mess up your emails. So you have a couple options as far as dealing with that.

    1. You can use MX records here to get your mail to the correct place:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

    2. You can set up forwarding as an email solution:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/

    3. You can ask your domain registrar to set up IP mapping to point your domain to WordPress.com.

    However, please note that our IPs change over time. Because of this, your domain might stop working at some point in the future. If that happens, please get in touch with us to find out the most current IPs and then update your A records accordingly.

    If you still want to go ahead and map your domain using A records, please be sure to create at least two, pointing to two different IPs from the list below:
    76.74.254.120
    76.74.254.123
    192.0.80.250
    192.0.81.250
    66.155.9.238
    66.155.11.238
