Transferring a domain to bluehost

  • Unknown's avatar

    I want to change my blog, and make it more attractive, but since no wordpress template was attractive enough for my blog, I decided to go the way of wordpress.org. Bought web hosting space in Bluehost and will buy an external theme. As I understand this is the only way.

    My domain expires in about a month, but to aovid having everything scrambled in the web, I want to transfer my domain to bluehost, I have followed the instructions on wordpress, but I cannot retrive nor find the authorization code that is supposed to be sent to the email address registered on the blog (as I understand). I dont even remember having made an account on a registrar´s website when I bought the domain through wordpress.

    Has anyone done this?

    Apparently it would be easier paying wordpress for the complete transfer, I wonder if the 125 usd are worth, and get rid of all this transferrind, exporting, importing is worth?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    This guide explains how to transfer the domain name to another registrar, including how to access the authorization (EPP) code: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/transfer-domain-registration/ Is it the one you used?
