  Hi there!

  I have restored the site femininaluta.wordpress.com, however, you wouldn’t be able to transfer the free subdomain to another host. You would need a custom domain to be able to do that.

  If you can tell us a little more about what are you trying to achieve, we may be able to advise.

  well, situation is:

  a made this account here directly with wordpress, this is a free account.

  but then i made an paid account in another host and choose the same domain to install wordpress, but in this account the domaind is not spreading the dns and pointing here, i think i need to change name servers here, so the domaind will be correctly used in my hother hosting account. it isn’t changing from “preview-domain” to correct domain…

  Hi there,

  Well, as with transferring, you can only point nameservers from a custom domain. You can redirect the site to your site on Hostgator.

  To redirect the traffic from your WordPress.com blog to a new site, you will need to purchase the Site Redirect upgrade:

  Redirect [Redirects to Site Redirect Support Page]

  As long as the permalink structure on your new site matches the structure on your WordPress.com blog, all of your permalinks will be redirected, as well.

  For more information, please see our guide:

  Site Redirect

  However, since there is no content on the site, I would say there is no need to worry about pointing nameservers or redirecting the address at this point.
