  Hi,
  I bought a new domain for my blog.
  I’ve add the domain name, and when i key in my new domain name it will redirect to my blog at wordpress.com and it works fine.

  Now, I bought a new hosting and i’ve installed wordpress.org.
  I’ve changed my dns to the new hosting server.

  my question is which one shall i select to make my domain name pointing to the new website in the new hosting?

  It should be like this:
  ssdrmaza.wordpress.com – Your blog URL
  drmaza.com – Redirecting to ssdrmaza.wordpress.com

  or
  drmaza.com – Your blog URL
  ssdrmaza.wordpress.com – Redirecting to drmaza.com (Put blog here)

  Thank you.

  the process of changing the dns name took some time, right, i still can’t see my new website.

  when i entered drmaza.com, it open the same page with ssdrmaza.wordpress.com.

  what i can do is to wait untul my new dns works… is this true?

  It can take a while for the DNS change to propagate.

  That said, drmaza.com goes to an non wp.com blog for me.

  I have changed my CNAME redirection to a full DNS with ns1.wordpress.com etc., now I need to wait for it to propagate however, the Domain page at wordpress won’t allow change? is that right, because I am still within the initial 10US for this.
