  Hello there,

  It’s possible to connect this domain as per these instructions here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  You wouldn’t be forwarding the domain, but instead just changing the DNS settings to point the domain to our servers.

  I did what the instruction says and I put that 3 server names in the DNS. I waited over 48 hours nothing’s happening. I don’t have to do nothing on the WordPress side to get this new domain forward?

  Hello there,

  I can see the domain has the name servers added: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/ballardpointcondominiums.com but it looks like the domain propagation is still taking place.

  This can take up to 72 hours for this to complete fully.

  Do I need a paid plan to point my domain to WordPress? It still will not connect to word press.

  Hi! It looks like you have more than one thread, but yes you would need a paid plan. That’s in the page that has steps for connecting a domain. We’ll see if we can make that clearer. Thank you!
