Step 1: Access Your HostGistic WHMCS Client Area
- Log in to your HostGistic account and navigate to the client area.
- Locate your domain under the “My Domains” section and click on the “Manage Domain” button.
Step 2: Update Nameservers to Point to WordPress.com

- Replace the current nameservers with the following WordPress.com nameservers:
