Point Web Name to New Website
-
How can point kimrapach.com to a new website? I am opening a new website for my therapy practice and want to use that name.

Hi there,
In order for us to point you in the right direction, could you let us know a little bit more on your new website like where will it be hosted? Will it be on WordPress.com or another web hosting provider?
Usually, there are two ways to use a domain registered on WordPress.com to another website hosted elsewhere.
(1) To keep your domain registered with WordPress.com, or any reason that your domain is unable to be transferred (e.g. less than 60 days old), you can point your domain to the nameservers of the new website.

If your web hosting provider is able to accept the domain transfer, this option will be more cost effective compared to the option above because you’ll only be paying one party (i.e. the new web hosting provider) after the transfer.
