Really confused about self hosting problem…

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello :)

    I’ve got a blog (saharmedfa.com) that I registered and bought the domain etc. through WordPress; but I wanted to add a theme from Themify- so I got an account with Bluehost to self host my account from now… At least this is what I understood from the WordPress help section on what to do…!! Lol- not sure I’ve done any of this right ;)

    Anyway- I got my account with Bluehost and I went to my cPanel to install WordPress through Simple Scripts. So far, so good. But now when I get the option of either installing a domain or importing a domain, I chose importing a domain because I’ve already bought my domain and have a blog with WordPress. So I entered my domain (saharmedfa.com) to *import* it… And I keep getting saying that Bluehost can’t reach the import domain to process the import…

    Help please :) I’m really confused!! My domain seems to be working fine- I can’t understand why this is happening, and I think I’ve followed the directions WordPress provided… I’m sure it must a simple mistake as I’m really new to all this… Any help would be seriiiiiiously appreciated because I’m really lost here.

    Thank you so much! :)

    I’m sorry but you have posted to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here at WordPress.com with those two sites as they not being hosted by WordPress.com. This is the correct forum for your software http://wordpress.ORG/support/ If you have not registered a WordPress.org username account yet you can do so on the top right hand corner of the page I just linked to so you can post to those support forums.
