  I have had a couple of WordPress sites for ages. I want to create a new one and paid to upgrade. As part of this I registered a .org domain name. However, this is pointed at one of my existing sites. How do I create a new site that uses the new .org domain name?

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

  Hi there!

  Can you clarify where you will be hosting this new site? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

  Thanks!

  Hi – sorry for the protracted delay in replying to your message – life has been a bit hectic lately. I assumed I could host it on the WP site. Do I need to get it hosted elsewhere?

  Hi there,

  You can definitely host the site on WordPress.com. We just wanted clarification on where you wanted to host the site as what we suggest next is dependent on that.

  For information on creating a blog, please visit our support page:

  Is kingsheathforum.org.uk the domain you are wanting to point to the new site? I see that it is a paid upgrade under a different WordPress.com.
