  Hi there,

  You can point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to BlueHost (hosting service), with these steps:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  You’ll need to obtain the name server values from BlueHost. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  I hope this helps – let me know if you have any more questions!

  I am so confused now. We bought xavierproject.org through wordpress.com but it is saying that wild west domains, llc is the owner of it and that we need to have them unlock it before we can move the hosting. How do I make this happen?

  Hi there,

  Yes, we use WWD but please note we are still your registrar. You only need to unlock the domain if you want to transfer the registration. If you just want to change hosts that is unnecessary.

  Please read the guide below on the difference between hosting and registration:

  All About Domains

  Please let me know what you would like to do and if you need help with it. If you just want to change hosting you can do that like I showed you above.

  If you want to transfer the domain registration completely, the guide below explains how to transfer the domain name to another registrar, including how to access the authorization (EPP) code:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  Please let me know if you have any questions!
