  I bought a .fi domain two days ago and have been trying to map it, but it doesn’t work. It says: “Sorry but spero.fi has not been registered yet therefore cannot be mapped.”

  I made sure that I really have registered it and that I have those three ns1.wordpress.com stuff in there (I don’t know what they’re called).

  What can I do?

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

  Hi there,

  I’ve mapped the domain for you. You’ll still need to do a few things:

  1) Point the domain to our name servers:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  2) After giving that a few hours to take effect, set the domain as primary under https://wordpress.com/my-domains

  Let us know if you need more help!

  Hi,

  The otteella.fi is now mapped to the wrong site :) I just continued on this chain and forgot to say that our site is at address otteella.wordpress.com

  Apologize for the inconvenience.

  Thanks again for your help.

  No worries!

  I made the adjustment and mapped the domain to otteella.wordpress.com.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  @sperotampere,

  I’ve mapped the domain for you. You’ll still need to do a few things:

  1) Purchase the subscription here by renewing:
  https://wordpress.com/my-upgrades

  2) Point the domain to our name servers:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  3) After giving that a few hours to take effect, set the domain as primary under https://wordpress.com/my-domains

  Let us know if you need more help!

  Hmm.. The page is not working yet.

  Under domain management I can find the spero.fi but when I go to email, it says “You don’t have any domains yet.” How can I create an email account with the spero.fi?

  Hm, the domain seems to be working alright here. Are you adding your email forwarders here?
  https://wordpress.com/domains/manage/spero.fi/email-forwarding/spero.fi

  If you prefer to add third party email, you would edit your DNS instead. Let us know what you have in mind.
