  I registered a domain name with wordpress.com. I believe now I should have used wordpress.org because I want to use blue host as my hosting site. What should I do?
  Can I go to blue host and set up a free domain name using the same domain name I registered with WordPress.com or will this cause a problem when I try and link the hosting site to wordpress software. I’m a novice. Please help.

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

  Hi there,

  You can use your domain lostamongwildflowers.com with a site hosted at Bluehost by pointing your domain to Bluehost. We have a guide to point your domain to another host by changing the domain’s name servers — those name servers tell your domain what hosting service to point to.

  You can contact Bluehost to get the name servers or other details you need to use your domain there. If you have any questions about how to make that change on your domain, please let me know what details Bluehost gives you and I can help you enter them here. :)

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
