    Hello,

    So I was supposed to make a wordpress.org start all the way but I accidently thought wordpress.com was the same thing. So I created an account and an admin for the site joyregwan.com.
    When I realized the mistake I got hosting from Bluehost and now I am trying to create an wordpress.org site but the site is pulling me back at wordpress.com insteed of letting me install the wordpress.org.

    What can I do?

    Should I delete my domain of joyregwan.com? How can I keep the same website name and use wordpress.org??

    Please help me, thank you. When Installing wordpress from bluehost it says that the site already exists but I am not able to enter wordpress.org only wordpress.com.

    Thank you

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @joyregwan
    You would need to changed the A record in your DNS to point to bluehost.

    You can access the DNS manager from the place you registered the domain

    Hello!

    Thank you for your message. Where can I find the number which points the bluehost ?

    I searched the one for the website https://joyregwan.com from the Bluehost from “Manage the DNS records” and tried both the A (Host)- Host Record : @ and ‘localhost’.

    After connecting the A record of https://joyregwan.com to point to @ and ‘localhost’ , the same error occurs and when I try adding a WordPress.org site the error : “It looks like there is already a site at joyregwan.com. Please select a different location.” occurs again.

    Did I do something wrong?

    Thank you ,

    Kind Regards,

    Katriina

    I figured out how to do it and I must have got it the right way! I am still not able to log into wordpress.org

    Maybe it has to do with this error : “You cannot visit joyregwan.com right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.”
