  Hi! I tried to add a Zone Record for the domain .ae but it asked me to contact support. (ae = arab emirates)

  Does that mean that I can’t actually map an .ae domain, or that you need to add the Zone Record for me?

  Thanks! (waves at everyone in Happiness, miss ya’ll)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What’s the full address of the domain you are trying to map?

  the domain is http://brentthomas.ae/ although not ready to map it just yet.

  I’m mostly trying to figure out if it’s possible before I tell someone I can do it! (assessing if we need a .org or can use .com install)

  thx

  I added a new DNS Zone record for your domain. This change may take a little while to be fully effective. Could you give it some time then try updating the name servers again?

  You can go to Store > Domains on your blog’s dashboard and follow the steps there.

  Please take a look at the following guide before going through the process.

  So, to clarify:

  1. Yes, it’s possible to map an .ae domain (ok, that question is resolved!)

  2. If I create a new blog for this person, the DNS zone record is already there, attached to my user name? Or does it need to be attached to this blog:

  Thanks!

  1: That’s correct.
  2: A domain mapping upgrade will be attached to single blog, you can pick any of your blogs. You can follow the steps in my previous reply for that.
