  I attempted to get webhosting from Host Gator. Whey they could not migrate my existing blog, I cancelled that. However, they had changed my nameservers. When i cancelled, they were not able to direct my site back to wordpress. they need the nameservers to do that. where do I find this information?

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

  Hi @amycmyers

  These are the name servers of WordPress.com.

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  For more information, check here:

  Hope this helps.

  Hi amycmyers,

  Domain mapping will connect an existing domain to the site you have created on WordPress.com. You will need to purchase a paid plan, then follow the steps listed in the support documentation @wpx2 linked to:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Gemmacevans: I guess I’m confused….does WP no longer have free accts on wordpress.com
  That’s what I had just 2 weeks ago….has that changed now?

  Hi amycmyers,

  WordPress.com accounts are free and we still offer the option to create a free site but certain features like custom domains are only available through paid plans. These plans include a domain credit which will cover the domain mapping cost.

  I hope this clears things up.
