  Where did you buy your domain name from? You probably need to follow up with whomever you purchased that from.

  YOu will need to spend another $5 to buy a new domain name, but your domain mapping upgrade will still be in effect. Just use it to select the new domain name.

  I bought the domain here on WordPress. I’m new to wordpress, and the “support” is confusing. I tried looking at their domain pages, but don’t see where I can buy the upgrade for $5? Thanks for commenting though!!

  Go to your dashboard for the blog in question, select Store on the left side.

  OK, it’s telling me I have to buy the registration… is this right? Another $18 plus the $8 privacy? Or is there another way?? Thanks again for all your help, like I said, I am new to this.

  If there isn’t another way, I would love suggestions about more user-friendly web-hosts. I can write code, but I am just setting up a website for this organization, so that they can go and add things after I’ve left.
