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 
wow. reading through that, there’s only a few who actually meet the requirements. like endya, i already have http://www.addictingentertainment.com pointing to my wordpress blog. i run my own dns servers, so i can change anything at will.

I wanna be a tester too!!!
I’m new to WordPress, but I have two domain names, I would like pointed at my wordpress blogs.
Sadly, I’m probably too late…
too late i think
but you can count on me too
i’m 84! but i have domain and redirect it to my blog, then may i be 84? http://roborend.com
Well, I’m nowhere near the 8th comment, but I’d like to try it too. My domain is http://www.soundsinteresting.net.
Talk about late. But, if you could find it in your heart to let me test it, that would be awesome. My domain is commondream.net.
Very keen to try this out if possible.
My domain is davidwaterston.com (it’s already being redirected to my WordPress blog so domain mapping would be perfect).
Please me too! adsyahoo.com
Only eight?! But, if the other 100+ wash out, then I’ve sippinwhisky.com/.org/.info which could be mapped to my blog, http://sippinwhisky.wordpress.com .
me please. copywrite.org
domain to park : wiznu.web.id
pointing to : wiznu.wordpress.com
Is there any way this feature could be utilized to get around the block of WP.com in China?
I know you said “the first 8 commenters” but are you still searching for testers?
Yay! It works for me now! Thanks Matt! 8)
I’ll be sure to send you guys feedback about how it works for me.
Cheers
Thanks, Matt! 🙂
The barrev.org domain mapping is perfect. Thanks very much!!
Any news on new beta testers or planned launch date for that feature?
castingmynet.com is pointing to the WordPress.com nameservers. Can it be parked at castingmynet.wordpress.com – pleeeaaaase?
Thanks, Matt – WORDPRESS ROCKS!!!
SO when does this feature go live. I have a domain registered just for this purpose.
If there’s still any chance of getting the mapping, and this is still the place to ask, I would like my domain
blahblahblah.info
mapped to deanwette.wordpress.com. My domain is already set to the nameservers you listed.
Thanks…
Dean Wette
