  Hi guys,

  I recently canceled my account with Bluehost and I would like to know somewhere I could host my WP blog/site. Do you guys have a hosting solution?

  Thank you!

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

  Hi!

  All WordPress.com plans come with hosting (even the free one!) To use a custom domain, or to use a domain name that you already own, you will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan.

  If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

  Hi rossviviano,

  thank you for your answer! Ok I just purchased the monthly plan so I can use my domain http://www.cursodecalculo.com.br. The thing is, when I try to access the website, I get

  “The requested URL was not found on this server.”

  Have you ever experienced that?

  Thank you!

  Glad to help!

  If you owned http://www.cursodecalculo.com.br previously, you will need to set up domain mapping on your new site.

  Thank you for the upadate rossviviano.

  Just to clarify, I won’t need Bluehost or any similar provider, since WordPress is “doing that job” now, right?

  Thanks!

  rossviviano, may I ask you something else? I am talking to the support center of WP and they are not helping very much…

  rossviviano I believe I sorted the issue, but I’ll let you know if I didn’t. I am waiting for the DNS to “propagate”.
  I appreciate a lot your time and concern. Thank you!
