I’ve updated the “Also see…” page to have your new address and having taken a quick look, it looks good.

Therefore, I think that what you need to do is to change your nameservers to those used by Hosting Unlimited. I'm not sure if their system allows you to do this yourself, but I do know that a request to their Support is usually responded to very quickly. Hope this helps. @marcus ward:

I had a wordpress.com blog at vegmonkey.co.uk . I have deleted the nameservers i had set up with the domain name people, telivo. After using 'hosting unlimited' to set up my wordpress job as you explained using fantastico, my blog does not appear at www.vegmonkey.co.uk. Do i need to set up my nameservers with wordpress.org, with hosting unlimited or is it something to do with my software? Help!
