  In order for a domain to be mapped, you need to actually own the domain, whether you register it through WordPress.com or another registrar. The mapping upgrade points the domain to your WordPress.com site, but it doesn’t actually register the domain itself.

  Do you actually own the domain libgeo.com? Here is the current information on it:

  Domain Name: LIBGEO.COM
  
  Registration Date: 01-Jun-2011
  Expiration Date: 01-Jun-2013  
  
  Status:REDEMPTIONPERIOD
  Note: This Domain Name has expired and is hence inactive. The owner
  of the Domain Name can restore it from the control panel or approach
  his service provider for the same, else the Domain Name will be deleted soon.
  
  Name Servers:  
      dns3.parkpage.foundationapi.com
      dns4.parkpage.foundationapi.com

  If you did not register libgeo.com back in 2011, then it means that someone else owns it, and you’ll need to find another domain to use with your site. Or, you may want to wait and see if the domain becomes available to re-register, since it’s currently in the “redemption period,” which means that it might re-enter the pool of available domain names in the coming months or weeks.

  If you’d like to cancel your domain mapping, you can do that under Store > My Upgrades.
