Transfer site to another host?

    Last night I signed up for an account, purchased the $99 upgrade in order to customize the site and registered a personal domain (thomwolfe.com). I also purchased a custom theme from a third-party, and when I tried to upload the new theme I found out that I couldn’t do that with a WordPress.com account. I then went to BlueHost and purchased an account there to host the site. What do I have to do now to switch my site to their hosting? I saw that you have a guided-tour which cost about $100 to do this, but I feel like I was a little mislead when I signed up and hate to keep having to dish out more and more money. I wish that this would have been a little more clear in the sign up process. Any help?

    Hi there,

    I’m sorry for any frustration.

    You can change your name servers so that the domain points to your new hosting provider:

    Let us know once you’ve done so, and we can offer you a prorated refund for the Value Bundle.

    Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)
