Delete domain from the system

  • Unknown's avatar

    We’ve changed registrar’s for the domain lahikmajoe.me and or now using an external registrar (I’m a firm believer in having the registrar separate from the hosting). We want to point the domain back to the site here on WordPress.com , but the domain (which was originally bought through you) is still in the system and we are unable to add it as a pointed domain.

    Can you please delete it from the system, so we can get a fresh start on domain mapping with this domain?

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

    I flagged this for the staff to help you.

    Was lahikmajoe.me mapped to a blog you own here? You should be able to transfer the domain mapping to another blog or delete it at

    The domain is no longer controlled here, it is controlled and managed at a third party registrar. We’ve already moved it off, we did that to get email support and to save a little money on the upgrades (it was but with a premium upgrade at $100/yr, but we only need domain mapping now at $13/yr).

    We do want to point it back this way, but the data about it just needs to be removed from the system so we can add it back in as a mapped domain.

    Actually, in looking at this deeper, this can be disregarded. I was assuming that because we had it outside, we would end up using an A record to point it here. I see in the documentation that we need to point it to the nameservers here (instead of the IP address).

    That’s not a problem and I see in the site itself that we can get that all setup without any further changes. I think this request can be ignored for now. I’ll open a new ticket if I need something.

    I removed the flag for the staff – if you want it back just type “modlook” (without quotes)in for a Tag and that will bring this to the attention of the staff

    Sounds like you found these instructions:
