  I need to transfer my WORDPRESS site to another host but the page where I insert the new name servers does not accept my new name servers even though I have verified them with my new host. The servers I am trying to use are:
  wns2243.hostgator.com
  wns2244.hostgator.com
  Is the procedure for transferring WordPress sites different? If not why are they not being accepted?

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

  Hi @yachtsee, can you let us know what error you’re getting?

  Also, would it be alright if we tried changing them on our side for you, to see if we can duplicate this?

  Noting too, it looks like there’s some confusing between changing the name servers and transferring the registration.

  Personally, I would change the name servers first if you’re ready for the new site to be up. And then you can work on the transfer. You won’t be able to change the name servers while the actual transfer is in progress.
