Thank you Esmi.

WordPress.com redirected me here to ask support questions.

How do I self-host my WP site?

See Installing_WordPress.

It seems I have done those things.

Stupider question: how do I lo into my www.remarpro.com dashboard/what is the login link to the WP.org dashboard? Whenever I login, I get the black & white dashroom (which is WP.com), and not the blue and grey dashboard, which is the WP.org dashboard. Correct me if I’m wrong!

Your own site is not connected to www.remarpro.com login – but it looks like the nameservers for your domain name are still set to WordPress.COM – so you need to change those to be able to login via your new site –

You need to change those on your WordPress.COM account.

Thanks WPyogi!

How do I change my nameservers on WP, and to what?

Where is your new site hosted? You need to get the nameserver settings for them.

See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

It’s hosted on GoDaddy. I just changed my nameservers on my GoDaddy account to:

NS63.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
NS64.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

For the link you pasted above, I do not see “Domain Administration” as an option under “Store > Domains” on my WP.com dashboard.

Am I on the right track?

Thanks!

Actually, I was wrong – sorry – just noticed that your domain name is registered by GoDaddy, so that’s where you need to change those nameservers – so if you’ve done that, you should be good to go when they fully propagate – which can take up to 72 hours (it’s usually less).

Ok, crossing my fingers that is works. Thanks so much!!!
