What happens when my nameserver change takes effect?
-
I am in the process of converting my wordpress.com site to a wordpress.org hosted through HostGator. I’ve already done the WordPress.org install on HostGator and I changed the nameservers a few hours ago through Automattic, but I’m not sure what’s going to happen when the change goes through (I understand it can take a fair bit of time.)
Once the nameservers are switched over, will my domain redirect to a blank site running on the wordpress.org platform?

Yes, you’ll be directed to your blank installation.
Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
