    I have purchased the domain name suitofardor.com. On my blog, it is appearing suitofardorcom.wordpress.com. Is there a way to change it to suitofardor.wordpress.com or better yet, just to suitofardor.com? Thanks!!

    Did you e the correct process for purchasing the required upgrade setting up domain mapping?
    suitofardor.com is hosted by GoDaddy.com
    Hosting provider: GoDaddy.com
    WHOIS: Click Here
    IP Address: 50.63.202.49
    Name Servers:
    ns52.domaincontrol.com
    ns51.domaincontrol.com

    re: mapping an existing domain
    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

    See https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

    Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/

    Your only options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

    It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

    Non-WordPress.com Nameservers

    Although suitofardor.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up. If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined below.

    We require that your name server configuration include only the following servers or their numeric equivalents:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    Your name servers are as follows:

    NS51.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
    NS52.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

    If you have access to change the nameservers for this domain, please remove all nameservers not on the required list above.

    Hi there,

    You make your custom domain the primary domain of your blog by going here.

    That way, your WordPress.com URL will forward any visitors to your custom domain, suitofardor.com.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
