  Hello there,
  I bought a domain from namecheap.com. How to add this domain here in WordPress and start to build my own website here? Because on step 2 when I must choose domain I can’t get that email which I bought from namecheap

  Hi there,

  In order to use your domain hosted elsewhere with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at namecheap, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade as a part of a paid plan so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Hello there,
  Namecheap changed nameservers and they tell me to wait for 48 hours and changes will be done.
  Please tell me exactly what to do after that’s done?

  Thanks!

  Sure thing! You will need a plan, so you can buy that here:
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  Then you can add mapping using these steps:

  This will make your domain point to your brand new site here. If you had something else in mind, let us know and we’ll help point you in the right direction. Cheers :)
