  Hi there,

  I see your domain is currently registered with Bluehost, but you have a few options for connecting it to your WordPress.com managed hosting.

  Option 1: Transfer Domain**

  Follow the instructions on this to directly transfer your domain from Bluehost to WordPress.com.

  Option 2: **Edit DNS Settings**

  Keep your domain on Bluehost but point it to WordPress.com by updating Name Servers to ns1.wordpress.com, ns2.wordpress.com and ns3.wordpress.com in your Bluehost account.

  For the time being I have set your WordPress.com site to use https://bellevueelderlycare.wpcomstaging.com/ as it’s primary address so you can get it set up in private. Out of curiosity is it your intent to migrate the content and design you have at bellevueelderlycare.com over to your WordPress.com hosting, so it’s essentially the same site without any changes?

  Or are you using this opportunity to re-design and update your site and then launching it when it’s ready to replace the old site?

  Thanks for the additional info!
