Can I buy two domain names for the same blog?
-
Hi all,
I’m completely new here, so be gentle with me!I’ve just started my blog, at the usual myblog.wordpress.com address. And I’ve also bought (through WordPress and Automattic) the domain name http://www.myblog.com, and pointed it at the wordpress address, and it works fine. So far so good.
What I’d now like to do is also buy the domain name http://www.myblog.co.uk and point that at my blog, but for some reason I’m struggling. The domain name is available to buy, but if I try to buy it through Options>Domains (exactly as I did before), I get the following page…
“Credits
Domain mapping is available for 10 credits per domain per year, registration not included. You have 15.00 credits.Possible problem with myblog.co.uk
We were unable to verify that myblog.co.uk 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 Feedback link at the top right of this page. We will help you sort it out.”Any ideas? Grateful in advance for any help!

My idea is to contact staff and ask them if they can make it happen.
