  Credits
  Domain mapping is available for $9.97 per domain per year, registration not included. Note that some forms of payment (eChecks via PayPal) may take several days to process.

  Possible problem with example4wordpress.co.nz
  We were unable to verify that example4wordpress.co.nz is pointing to WordPress.com. If you own this domain, follow the directions below to get it ready for your blog. If you don’t own it, try a different name to see if something else is available. If the domain is available, you may be able to register it with another registrar and then map it to your blog.

  How to fix it
  Using the DNS tools provided by your domain registrar, remove any existing nameservers and add the following:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
  Then come back here and try again. It may take several hours for our system to recognize the changes.

  If all else fails
  If you need help, or if your registrar recommends a different solution, please contact support via the Help link at the top right of this page. We will help you sort it out.

  If I understand you correctly, you missed a step.

  You need to register the domain first. You can do this through wordpress.com, or through another service.

  If you want to do this through wordpress, go here:

  If you want to do it through another service, that’s fine. After you pay them to register it, follow these instructions:
