  Hi,
  I want to point my domain ordateljen.se to ordateljen.wordpress.com .
  My domain is with Crystone. I have, according to they support, point to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, NS2.WORDPRESS.COM and NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  they say that in 48 h my domain will point to my wordpress.com as above without doing anything else.

  Is that right? How can this be done without connecting from ordateljen.wordpress.com to ordateljen.se

  Confused!!

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

  Hi there,
  I have tagged this thread for Staff to replace the broken zone record link in the support docs and add your zone record so you can proceed with mapping your existing domain. Once they have done that you will be able to proceed. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  @Staff – See here and note the broken linkhttp://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#want-to-use-a-country-specific-domain-name-like-myblog-com-br-or-mywebsite-fr

  Instructions:
  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. To register a WordPress.com blog see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing 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.

  NOTE: WordPress.com does not provide an email service for domains. See here for adding email http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

  Hi there,
  Just wait for an email which will be sent when Staff enter this thread and add your zone record for you. Until they do that you can’t use the instructions.

  @ jeanettebohman

  It looks like the name servers are correct:
  http://who.is/whois/ordateljen.se

  You will need to purchase domain mapping for your site. Go to the following link and add your domain, and follow the rest of the checkout process from there.

  https://jeanettebohman.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&ref=store-wp-admin

  After that, you just need to go to your Dashboard again and under Store > Domains, set ordateljen.se as your primary domain, and you should be all set.

  @timethief, that link isn’t actually broken, but because of the height of the page, that section isn’t appearing at the top of the page like it usually would.
