Can I access and redirect my domain name after I deleted my blog?

    Hi,

    I was wondering if someone might be able to help me.

    I bought the domain name http://www.richardhalford.com for my WordPress.com blog. But then I got totally into WordPress and started building themes and templates and wanted to host my my own blog. I have now set up a WordPress installation with bluehost and set my domain name as richardhalford.com. I then thought I should delete my site on WordPress.com so as not to get things confused.

    And that is where I think I have gone wrong. I deleted my blog which was mapped to richardhalford.com and now I can't access my domain name through WordPress - Options - Domains as per the FAQ instructions. And the domain name manager site was only accessable through the WordPress interface.

    What can I do to access my domain name and release it to BlueHost - ie get the release code. Any help would be immensely appreciated. My site and domain name are integral to my job hunting and I need gainful employment ... urgently

    Many thanks in advance

    Richard

    Because if you want to answer questions on the forum then I thought you would like to know that many people ask questions that are already answered in the FAQs, forum searchbox and the Beginner's Guide. :)

    If you read up on them you can be sure to have the correct answers almost all of the time and to be able to answer the questions asked very quickly.

    special smile for trent :)

    Thumbs up! I'm a speed reader but I could not have read the information at every link provided in the Beginner's Guide in less than 10 minutes.
