Transfering from .org to Premium .com

  • Unknown's avatar

    It was only a few weeks ago I transfered to a .org through Bluehost. I am very unhappy with the 10+ second loading speed, so I want to transfer back to .com. (While the .org was nice, I don’t want to hassle with another (outside) hosting provider, and I miss the ready-made WP community.)

    I have already transferred the blog content back to .com, but now I’m stuck as to what I should do.

    I do have my own domain name: aforgeofphoenix.com which currently leads to the .org site.

    My questions:

    1. Do I need to purchase the .com Premium *before* I cancel the Bluehost hosting?

    2. How do I get the aforgeofphoenix.com domain name to now reflect onto the wordpress.com site ? note: I already have forwarding set up on the aforgeofphoenix.wordpress.com to the aforgeofphoenix.com. Will that mess anything up when I switch back?

    3. Do I need to tell Bluehost to point the domain name to the .com?
    I *think* I can do that from Bluehost, as they host the domain name.

    4. Is there anything else I am missing that needs to be done?

    Thank you so much!

    Hmmm…. I think I *might* have this figured out? Where do I find the numbers of the WP.com nameservers?
