  Hi there – I’ve recently signed up for self hosting with BlueHost, and they have advised that they’ve completed the site transfer from WordPress. I am so confused about what course of action I need to take in a) finishing the transfer and organising a redirect and b) what do I do with the old site? Can I speak with someone who can help me decipher what BlueHost are asking me to do? For your convenience, I’ve copied some of their email to me for you to look at – I’m a bit of a noice in this area so your help is truly appreciated:

  It’s best to finalize the migration and point the domain to our server before having anyone work on the site. To wrap the migration up, you’ll just need to point each domain to our system by changing its nameservers to:

  ns1.bluehost.com
  ns2.bluehost.com

  If you’re unsure how to do that you’ll need to contact the domain’s registrar.

  Thanks again guys

  You are transferring your domain to another registrar (BlueHost). So please check and follow the BlueHost specific steps mentioned in Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar support docs.

  If you want to avoid the hassle of doing it yourself, you can purchase Guided Transfer at 129 USD per blog.
