    Hallo, ich habe mir gestern bei Ionos eine Domain bestellt, und nun wird mir wenn ich diese aufrufe horrorjunk.de Folgende Meldung angezeigt:

    Something unexpected happened while accessing this website. It looks like it doesn’t have an active domain connection upgrade to link the requested domain name to the WordPress.com site.

    If this is your domain name and it has recently stopped working, it’s possible that your plan or domain may have expired. Please log in to your WordPress.com account and review the status of your plan and domain.

    Mir wurde von ionos gesagt, ich soll euch Kontaktieren und ihr sollt mir die IPV6 Ip geben und die ipv4 adresse abgleichen

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hey there,

    I’m going to run your responses through Google Translate and respond in English if that’s ok? But feel free to communicate in your own language if you feel more comfortable.

    Hello, I ordered a domain from Ionos yesterday, and now when I call up horrorjunk.de the following message is displayed:

    Something unexpected happened while accessing this website. It looks like it doesn’t have an active domain connection upgrade to link the requested domain name to the WordPress.com site.

    If this is your domain name and it has recently stopped working, it’s possible that your plan or domain may have expired. Please log in to your WordPress.com account and review the status of your plan and domain.

    I was told by ionos to contact you and you should give me the IPV6 IP and match the IPV4 address

    Hello, I created a website for free and bought a domain for it on ionos, but now I get the error message from WordPress:

    What can I do now? the page was created via wordpress.com

    Ok, so it sounds like you’re looking to use the domain with the site: horrorflashblog.wordpress.com?

    If yes, this can be done by following these steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

    The domain name servers would need to be changed to:

    ns1.wordpress.com
    ns2.wordpress.com
    ns3.wordpress.com

    To note in order to set a custom primary domain on the site, a paid plan would need to be in place, at a minimum the personal plan:

    What is the site going to be about exactly? Perhaps I can offer some advice and help on what to do next.

    Speak soon!

    Hey, the problem is when i click her i need to pay, is it not free to use a domain for my free website that i bought on another website?

    Yes, that is correct. If you have a domain that you purchased from another provider and want to use it here at WordPress.com, you’ll need to upgrade to one of our paid plans. With any of our plans, you’ll be able to use your domain for free by using the domain connection option.

    Each plan comes with its own set of benefits. For instance, all plan levels offer priority email support, while Premium and above provide advanced customization options and live chat support. Take a look at the features of each plan and choose the one that best fits your needs.

    is it possible do to it on wordpress.org for free?

    Hosting a WordPress site for free has significant drawbacks. Free hosting services have limited resources, resulting in slow loading times and restricted functionality. Shared servers can lead to performance issues, causing frequent downtimes for your site.

    Security is a big concern with free hosting. They lack advanced security features, leaving your site vulnerable to cyber threats. Also, support is often lacking with free hosting. Technical issues must be resolved on your own. Some providers display intrusive advertisements and impose monetization limitations.

    Investing in your website with WordPress.com is a better choice to avoid the limitations and problems associated with free hosting. With WordPress.com, you’ll experience improved performance, enhanced security, reliable customer support, the ability to use custom domains, and greater control over your site.

    If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. We’re here to help!

    Hi! I can use Google Translate to understand you: https://translate.google.com/

    You said:

    So is it better for me to buy hosting through wordpress.org?

    This can depend a lot on how familiar you are with managing WordPress sites, as well as other related sysadmin tasks like managing your own server settings, backups, software updates, security scanning, etc. On a standard web host you will need to manage these things yourself. On our managed hosting we take care of these for you.

    We also offer in-house support for your WordPress questions. On other hosts, WordPress is just one of the many platforms they will allow you to install on your account. Because of this they typically offer “hosting support” but do not help with WordPress-specific site questions.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
