  There is no domain mapping upgrade for chasingcasey.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.

  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

  Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium ujpgrade bundle.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

  If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  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.

  I have already bought the domain and I used to have it with WordPress and then I transferred to tumblr. I now want to go back to WordPress. Why do I have to pay if I already did?

  It’s the upgrade that you require in order to use an existing domain URL to map to from any WordPress.COM blog to the domain URL.

  Okay thank you. I clicked on the link you sent me and I put my domain in. It then asked me to click map now so I did. It said it was successful so now it takes 42 to 74 to take affect?
