URL

    I was trying to change my website’s URL from steammonitedesigns.com (I own the URL elsewhere) to steammonitedesigns.wordpress.com, and I seem to have done that, but in doing so I seem to have completely lost my website. Is there a way this can be recovered? I can no longer find the setting where I change the URL. I previously went to a page where it listed both my WordPress Address and Site Address and that’s where I typed in steammonitedesigns.wordpress.com; I can no longer find that page/tab.

    WP.com: Unknown
    Jetpack: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there, it looks like your website steammonitedesigns.com is hosted over at Bluehost, is that correct?

    If so then it wouldn’t be able to use steammonitedesigns.wordpress.com as an address – those “.wordpress.com” addresses are the free addresses we provide for sites that are hosted here with us at WordPress.com, but they’re not something that can work for sites which use the WordPress software (from WordPress.org) with another host.

    You may need to check in with either Bluehost’s own customer service, or possibly the community forums of WordPress.org, to switch the site back to how it was:

    To clarify, there are two ways to use WordPress, you can either use the WordPress software downloaded from WordPress.org onto a web host like Bluehost (also known as self-hosted), or you may host your site with us here at WordPress.com. For reference, you can learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:
