  I would like to buy one of the new tlds available and map this to my wordpress blog – does WordPress support the new domain names as I know I can’t purchase these through Wordpess yet.

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

  Hi there. As far as I know most domain extensions can be mapped if you have it registered somewhere else. The only exception I know of are internationalized domain names, i.e. those containing special characters or characters from non-Latin alphabets: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/#internationalized-domain-names-idns

  If you have a specific TLD in mind, tell us what it is and staff should be able to tell you if you can map it here or not.
