  I am currently using the “free trial” of the Premium WordPress hosting package. I purchased my domain through WP.

  I want to transfer hosts, and I’m wondering the best option. Do I want to go the “Change Server Name” route? I know I can’t change the domain registrar for 60 days, but hope to get the hosting switched ASAP.

  Thanks!

  To use your custom domain with a different host, your best option is to point the domain to your new host’s name servers. One the 60 days are up, you can also transfer the domain. Here’s more info on how to do that.

  Let me know if you have any questions about that!
