  Hi, I want to change my wordpress domain to another domain that I already own. But I´m just getting this error report from my domain keeper:
  Name server ns1.wordpress.com responding authoritatively on lookup zone lofotor.com (my domain name from the host domeneshop.no).
  I want to keep my existing domain host.
  What can I do to solve the problem?

  Thanks.

  If you would like to use your domain you will first need to purchase a domain mapping upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/ set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
