 * Hello! Now I would like to transfer my website so it is fully hosted at dreamhost.
   Currently it is registered through Wild West Domains and dreamhost won’t transfer
   the hosting without an authorization code. I contacted Wild West Domains, and
   they referred me back to support at wordpress. How do I get the authorization
   code to transfer hosting?
 * Thank you!

 * The domain name was purchased at wordpress.com. It has now been upgraded to wordpress.
   org. I want the site to be fully hosted on DreamHost. DreamHost won’t transfer
   the registration until I get authorization from wordpress.org

 * since the transaction originated as part of your WordPress.com account, the volunteers
   in this forum would not be the best source of help for domain name issues.
 * I recommend the support team at WordPress.com
