  Hi

  I’m want to change my blog address – and am trying to purchase a new name. When it says .co is available does this mean I will end up purchasing .co.uk as I’m in the UK

  I’m confused. Im happy to pay for a .co.uk address but I don’t understand how to do this through wordpress – or do I have to do this somewhere else and then map it across?

  Thanks
  Amanda

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

  You need to purchase the domain with another Registrar then map it here – http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  You will also probably need a zone record added here for the mapping
