    Well I checked the wordpress.com support for information about changing nameservers and i found this: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/

    But i still have a question. If i want to make complete changes in my blog (like installing themes), i have only to change nameservers or i have to completly transfer my wordpress.com Blog to my own web server?

    Thanks for the help. I hope someone answer to this cause i’m still a bit lost 😉

    Ok. I just talked to bluehost support and they gave me a nice explanation.
    I’ll copy and paste here because i know that many noobs (like me) might have the same problem.
    Here it is…

    Pedro: [6:27:56 PM] hi. I’m having some serious issues here with my domain name. Im using bluehost to install wordpress files. After i install it, i try to access my admin panel by typing http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin. The problem is that my domain here in bluehost has the same name of my previous blog, which is hosted at wordpress.com Everytime i try to access the admin panel, it redirects me to wordpress.com, and actually im working with the wordpress.org files. How can i fix this?

    Lonny: [6:30:50 PM] One moment.
    [6:34:22 PM] It looks like your domain is not pointing to our server.
    [6:34:35 PM] You’ll need to update your name servers or change your A record to point to us for us to host the site.
    [6:34:38 PM] Our name servers are ns1.bluehost.com (74.220.195.31) and ns2.bluehost.com (69.89.16.4). When changing these, it may take 1 – 2 days for these changes to reflect from your location.

    Pedro: [6:36:40 PM] Ok. I’m very new to this whole thing. How exactly do i update my name servers?

    Lonny: [6:37:39 PM] You contact the company you bought your domain from and give them the name servers above.

    Pedro: [6:39:32 PM] So. I contact wordpress.com and i tell them those names? I see that bluehost and wordpress have some partnership. I just contact them and tell to update the name servers?

    Lonny: [6:40:32 PM] Exactly.

    Pedro: [6:41:17 PM] Ok. thank you very much. I guess i understood

    Lonny: [6:41:21 PM] Not a problem. 🙂 Have a nice night!
    [6:41:22 PM] Thank you so much for contacting support, and please let us know as you have additional questions in the future.
    [6:41:24 PM] If interested, a great deal of valuable information can be found in our knowledge base at: http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/ and in our video tutorials at: http://www.bluehosttutorials.com/tutorials.

    i hope it helps ;D
