    Hello,
    I hope to find you happy. I just registered several domains names with Automatic BUT…..I just realized these new domains are all automatically mapped to my primary domain.

    I want to know why it is so
    what purpose does it serves.

    I paid for a mapping that I do not need I think?

    1- Will I be able to use my new domains as separate websites pointing to there own landing pages and pages etc.. ?

    Tank you if I need to cancel everything Let me know fast !
    :-)

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

    WordPress.COM sells domain mapping upgrades. They include the domain name in some cases. In all cases the domains purchased in the domain mapping upgrades are intended for use by mapping from the underlying.wordpress.com blog URLs to the domain URLs that are purchased in the upgrades.

    Hi there,

    I see that you added quite a few domains recently. Please note that you added them all to the same site: catherinebazin.wordpress.com. You can only have one Primary Domain per site and that is the one all your domains redirect to.

    If you have other WordPress.com sites, let me know which domains you’d like moved to which WordPress.com site. You can create more WordPress.com sites by going to My Sites when you log into WordPress.com. There will be a + sign to create another site.

    Once that is created, let me know which domain you would like to use with the new site.

    Let me know if you have any questions with this!

    Hi Grace,
    Questions are rising!

    1 – If I create wordpress sites on wordpress.org can you still redirect my new domain names in that direction?

    2- Must I absolutely have a wordpress.com site in order for the redirect to word?

    Thank you!

    Question number 3:

    It feels like redundance meaning too much redirecting?

    Question 4 ( the last for now) :-)

    When I create a new free blog and I choose the private option .Is it private only on wordpress.com? Meaning once we redirect the domain names does it matter?

    bienveillances.org
    bienveillance.biz
    goodwillbuilders.net
    goodwillcatchers.com

    1 – If I create wordpress sites on wordpress.org can you still redirect my new domain names in that direction?

    Yes. All I need are the nameservers and you can update that by going to Store > My Domains > Edit Domain in your Dashboard. Here’s more information on this:

    Move Your Domain to Another Host

    This will allow you to point your domain to whoever you choose as your host for you WordPress.org site.

    2- Must I absolutely have a wordpress.com site in order for the redirect to word?

    No, this would not be necessary since you are pointing your domain to another site outside of WordPress.com.

    Question number 3:
    It feels like redundance meaning too much redirecting?

    I’m not sure what this means. What do you mean by redundancy? If you don’t update the nameservers they will point to your WordPress.com site.

    Question 4 ( the last for now) :-)
    When I create a new free blog and I choose the private option .Is it private only on wordpress.com? Meaning once we redirect the domain names does it matter?

    Please note that a domain name is a name used to identify a particular website on the internet. Your site’s domain name is like your mailing address. Your domain exists independently of your site, so even if you cancel your domain, all the content on your site remains unchanged. Therefore, if anything were to happen to your domain (for e.g. you forget to renew it), you can still find all your content at your free *.wordpress.com site as long as the primary domain is updated.

    You can find more information about domains here.

    If a site on WordPress.com is private it is private anywhere. No one can view it. That has nothing to do with the domain name if you are pointing it elsewhere.

    bienveillances.org
    bienveillance.biz
    goodwillbuilders.net
    goodwillcatchers.com
    can we move them under batisseuresdebienveillances.org ?
    batisseuresdebienveillances.org

    Thes have all been moved under the site batisseuresdebienveillances.wordpress.com, but I just found that your domain: batisseuresdebienveillance.org has it’s nameservers set to:

    INMOTIONHOSTING.COM

    which is not working as seen here:

    https://who.wildwestdomains.com/whoisstd.aspx?domain=batisseuresdebienveillance.org&prog_id=wildwestdomains

    Please contact them in regards to getting that site up.
