Noobie Installation Help

    Hi there,

    I am trying to move my site from wordpress.com to wordpress.org, I installed via Dreamhost. In the email I received “Successfully installing WordPress on your site”, the initial link to create an admin user brought me to my old wordpress.com site saying the page could not be found. Dreamhost explained that I needed to redirect the servers and said to do it through my registrar which is a 3rd party site, when I contacted them they told me they did not have access and I have to do it through WordPress.

    I’m quite the noobie, if that wasn’t already obvious. So any help or simply being pointed in the right direction is hugely appreciated.

    Thank you!

    As I recall from doing the same some time ago, you have some Dashboard Tools options at wordpress.com for taking care of that by re-pointing your domain to your new nameservers at your new host. Then after that, you will likely need to go to cPanel at your new host and assign your domain to your new installation.

    Here’s the detailed info on changing the nameservers –
