  Hello – I previously bought a domain name through WordPress.com. Everything I read says I should sign up with Bluehost to help expedite the transfer to WordPress.org, but is this necessary after I bought a domain name already with WordPress.com? Looking for the simplest solution to transfer everything over and begin using WordPress.org for more customization.

  Sorry if this is a stupid question…
  Thanks!

  Moving to WordPress.org:

  If you wish to transfer the domain registered through WordPress.com, please review this document. Note that you can only transfer a domain after 60 days from its initial registration. If it has not yet been 60 days, you can still update your nameservers and point them to your new host.
