We need some testers for the domain mapping feature of WordPress.com. This probably only applies to you if you’re tech savvy enough to already own a domain and know how to change the info on it. (For now, when we actually launch it’ll be much easier and have documentation.)
The first 8 people to comment get the feature for free, but to qualify you…
- Must already own a domain.
- The nameservers must be set to ns1.wordpress.com and ns2.wordpress.com
Domain parking allows your blog to be something like example.com instead of example.wordpress.com.
Leave a comment with the domain you want to park. I’ll check the whois for the nameserver information and if it’s correct you get to be a domain parking beta testing. 🙂
WordPress.com News 
oh please please i think i’m actually first! please let me in. i already forward my domain, i’d love to park it instead!
ohhhhh. i guess i need to leave a domain. i use http://www.n1s.net
I am willing to try this.
http://www.morefunnyjokes.com/ is available.
I have removed the forwarding and updated the DNS.
If you can map morefunnyjokes.wordpress.com to that, I will give it a workout.
Thank you,
Yeah, i want to be a first tester.
domain to park : barrev.org
pointing to : barreview.wordpress.com
name servers have just been modified
This is my domain nh-gosu.com, i already modified dns to ns1.wordpress.com and ns2.wordpress.com.
Hey, sign me up.
http://wrathchild.wordpress.com/
http://wrathchild.us/
(I just registered it, so it might take a bit for the whois information to propagate.)
I would love to try it, and I have a domain at http://brentroos.com
Please let me try!
I don’t own a domain…but I learn quickly 😀
Well, at least I tried xD
i have a domain. it is throbindia.com
I have a domain name that I have mapped to my blog, but would be glad to change things to help you guys out. 🙂
Hi Matt. If you’re still looking for volunteers, count me in. I have several domains and ability to modify my DNS records.
Hi! I’m interested in taking part in this beta, if possible. My web domain is stereoroid.com, which I would redirect to stereoroid.wordpress.com. I just made the DNS change at my registrat, a few minutes ago, so it may take a little while to come in to effect. My site is almost totally WordPress based anyway, so this sounds like a really good idea to me.
Thanks,
brian thomson
dublin, ireland.
marcoos.com 😉
http://www.onthetech.com
I would like to try out the domain mapping beta service
please add onthetech.com to your dns servers.
I just added the dns info , godaddy said that it can take 48 hours for a whois seach to show the new dns info.
I’ll play – unrighteous.org, just updated it.
Thanks!
I am impatient to prove it.
Thanks.
I’d be keen to look at this … thanks
bashthetech.com, I will update the nameservers asap. I no this is a new blog but I was going to do url fowarding anyways.
Me! Me! I just changed the nameserver for elidourado.com. It may take a few minutes to propagate.
Cool, I’ll volunteer to test. 🙂
Sweet deal.
Hello,
My blog is at eoinpurcell.wordpress.com and I own the domain eoinpurcell.com.
I have reset the namservers as requested, do I qualify?
Eoin
PS even if i don’t this is a feature I have been looking forward to.
Can be subdomain for now? adamus.motioners.com instead adamus.wordpress.com. I’m going to buy another domain, but blog will be mapped as adamus.newdomain.com as well.
Thanks in advance.
my domain is http://www.surlemploi.com
I’ve just changed the nameservers as indicated
my relevant blog is surlemploi.wordpress.com
hope I’m qualified 🙂
Let me know if I qualify, I just made the change to my nameservers.
I’ve been waiting on this feature forever 🙂
Thanks
Bruce
I own a doman for my blog patriotsfanblog.com? I might be interested.
While it sounds good, it doubt that you will be offering MX,TXT, and other dns record type things if your using a domain name for stuff other than just blogging.
It seems a bit of waste to use a domain name just for blogging imho, more information might be nice – no is my gut first feeling here
http://www.kristiandye.co.uk
I will need to wait for my ISP’s tech support to change the nameservers though :$
Hi Matt,
Thank you for this new feature. I add this reply for reserved my places. Please send me the following data to complete the process of converting my Domaine (mshjiouij.ma):
The IP number for the “ns1” & “ns2”; the “A record” and the “MX Records”.
My Best Regards,
mshjiouij
My name is Greg Hamblin. My domain is http://www.sixmilevillage.com
I would love to be involved in the beta testing of this exiting new feature, etc.

Question: Will you support mail redirects?
I’m not sure if it works but here’s the domain name: http://www.djthor.com
I’ll loved to test this for you !! thx
Hi Matt, you can check mine at http://sesantos.com.ph/
Thanks.
I’d like to try this feature.
I would love to do that. How about http://www.thodla.com. It is mine. I have a couple of others if this works out.
Strange, after all the forum questions about domain mapping this has been up for over 24 hours with no response.
Anyway this is the domain I own. (it contains 3 different blogs)
http://cranialcavity.net
And this is one of the three blogs: http://cranialcavity.net/wordpress/index.php
I’ll do it. Nameservers are changed…. Domain is mentrends.com
I just updated the nameservers, so they might not be correct yet, but the domain is http://markt.ws
I forgot to list my domain: utahvalley.info
For some reason, utahvalley.info isn’t updating. If it’s possible, let’s go with andygoddard.info.
I would love to test and it’s a feature I’ve really been looking forward too, all though I haven’t purchased my domain yet. Is there a way you could hold a place for me?
If not, just disregard this comment. 🙂
i can try.
i changed the nameservers now : http://wwww.enesacar.com
oh man, don’t quite have my domain name ready yet 😦
oh well, good to know that this service IS coming, even if i’ll have to pay for it now 😛
Hi Matt,
I’m game. 🙂
I have a domain “brittablog.com” with the nameservers set as required.
cool, not that i have any interest in your beta testing 🙂
Hope I am not late in replying
My domain: http://www.rakesh.in
blog: http://rakeshkumar.wordpress.com
I would like to have an invite.

I can try domain mapping for you, I’m at alphonse.info. Thanks.
Oh my! I’d love to park my domain to my blog! erasableink.com is what I’ve got. I’ll be forwarding my nameservers immediately!
Hmm, seems my first comment didn’t show up. I’m looking to map my domain, erasableink.com, to my blog, godbout.wordpress.com. I updated the nameservers for the domain with godaddy.com, but they say it’ll take up to 48 hours to switch over. Hopefully I’m not disqualified!
sign me up. joeholland.org
dalegroup.info
I’ll update domain info now.
Me! Me! Pick ME!
Well, I’m definitely interested in checking out this new feature and I’ve gone ahead and changed my nameservers. The change should take place before too long. Here’s hoping it works! Keep up the good work, guys – this site just keeps growing!
Please park my domain allthingsnerdy.com for allthingsnerdy.wordpress.com
I have already changed the nameservers and have been waiting for this great feature from you guys and gals.
Can I have one please… vidinur.com
kmlqz.com
ohhhh. i was first. and now i’ve set my name servers to ns1 and ns2.
http://www.leahey.org
🙂
Nice feature, if and when it does happen. I guess I missed out 🙂 I can always wait for when it is available more freely, I guess.
Alright, I think we got enough folks. Thanks guys!
@matt… the comments didn’t show up for quite a while, thats why there are so many people commenting.
would lov to help … plz feel free to get in touch
I’m late 😦
Oops, seems like I’m number 9.
BTW. Why do you need the whole domain delegated to you? I think there should be possibility to map just a single hostname to WordPress.com’s IP address and not to delegate the whole domain. That’s how e.g. http://www.jogger.pl (Polish blog service) works.
E.g. I’d like http://www.marcoos.com to be my blog’s address, but I’d still like something.marcoos.com to map to some other host.
not now but later insha-allah …
How about a .in domain?
The Great Indian Mutiny -> http://www.mutiny.in
Hey I would like to test out this service as well.
I would be interested in testing it. I don’t own a domain yet, but have been looking forward for this feature for a long time. If I am selected for the test, I can register a domain and do the needful.
Thanks in advance for selecting me for this test 🙂

So who got in and how will we be notified?
http://www.choosingdestiny.org
I will park it now. =)
i’ve looked at the domains for the first few people and none of them are forwarding / mapping to a wordpress.com blog yet. so i guess we’re all waiting either to be officially notified or for wp.com to flip the mythical switch. ohhhhh, let us know. we’re giddy like little girls.
::)
I’d like to participate also, pleas let me know if I can do this.
Whoohoo! I was number 8! I met all of the requirements. I assume that I will be a tester. Let us know Matt!

Oh Please me too! Nameserver setting pointed! ventanaranch.info
angelvshannon is the domain i’d like tested. thank you!
Ohh Me too! My nameservers are ready. ventanaranch.info
Thanks!
I want one. My domain is http://www.endya.net … it is currently being forwarded to endya.wordpress.com… I am a software developer myself so I can help you with the beta testing as well.
Would you like to be the first to map to an .eu domain ?? Yeah..I own one of it !! http://www.adrianoarrigo.eu
oops I am late
but still
http://mukund.be
Try me
Name Mukund
*sigh* I’d put ads on my page for WordPress if it meant getting a domain and hosting. At the moment, I cannot afford a domain or the ability to host it here. I know it can be pretty cheap to get domains; but just trust me when I say that, at the moment, this is still not an option for me.
I wish WordPress had a “broke blogger” plan for this…..
Hi,
I was one of the early requestors, #13 above, but I haven’t heard anything back from you guys. I’ve now added my old DNS servers back to the domain registration as #3 and #4, leaving the WordPress DNS servers as #1 and #2. That may allow people to, you know, access my existing site.
Is there some way we can get a “yes or no” answer as to whether we qualify for this experiment? I know it’s not polite to “look a gift horse in the mouth”, but my site has been DOWN for 2 days, after I made the DNS changes you requested. I know it’s a beta, and I have a failback plan, it’s just that changing a domain’s DNS servers has the effect of making that site inaccessible if the target DNS servers refuse to resolve the names, as is happening now.
Thanks,
brian t

hope am not too late
I have a few domain names ready to try.
OK.
I have http://www.tensoriana.org and http://www.trafal.com and would like to give it a try.
http://www.bfic.org
w/ nameserver change THANKS
Matt, did you say the first 8, or the first 80? 😉
Okay. I have some questions about this.
Firstly, you say “The first 8 people to comment get the feature for free, but to qualify you…”. Does this mean that non-testers will not get this feature for free?
Now second, when you set up domain mapping, is it possible to have a wordpress subdomain and the domain mapped, so your links won’t be severed?
I don’t think I apply to be a tester as I’m posting 84th, but I’d like http://www.davortech.com
I have several domains and experience changing settins with them. Is it too late?
sorry…my domain is samguzman.com
i hopes it’s not too late to ask…..
