  or something i did?
  i bought a domain for my website – itnørden.dk or as it is translated into xn--itnrden-s1a.dk. I haven’t really done anything on it yet so wanted to try and set it up on wordpress.com to get som inspiration.
  But it says it is blacklisted and i can not use it. I can use it with a .net extention, but why is it blacklisted ?

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

  When we need Staff help with issues Volunteers cannot resolve like this one we type modlook into the sidebar tags on our forum threads. I did that for you. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then we subscribe to this thread so we are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Thank you very much .. i didn’t know either how to edit my post to correct typos. However i later found MX Toolbox and nothing seems to indicate that my site is blacklisted, but i am getting more and more discouraged from using a domain name with danish letters.

  Hi there,

  We do not have support for internationalized domain names on WordPress.com, so you won’t be able to connect that domain to a site here.

  Right, but itnørden.net seems to be okay – same domain name with .net instead of .dk is registering fine. But that is it, chosing a domain with danish letters is only asking for trouble.
  Thank you for your reply.

  Do you mean if you try to register it directly with us? If I try to register itnørden.net on WordPress.com it gives me itnorden.net instead. And I’m not able to map itnørden.net here at all.

  If you want to use the domain with a WordPress.com site, then you’ll need to avoid Danish letters, yes. Other services might have support for those characters, though.

  Yes i took a snippet of it – it recommended itnørden.blog (i chose itnørden.net) – but can not upload it to this post ?
  It is no big deal though, what alarmed me was it said my domain was blacklisted, i can rule that out though – on a general perspective . It might be on WordPress.com.. i am working on it on a hosted site

  Your domain is not blacklisted in any way that I can see, no :)
