Domain and Mapping – I'm confused!
-
Bought the bundle and own two domains candidlycanine.com and dogswhoblog.com
Now I am trying to
FIRST: change from http://www.candidlycanine.wordpress.com to candidlycanine.com
SECOND: map the other domain (dogswhoblog) to my main blog of candidlycanine.com At this point I do not have wordpress blog started for dogswhoblog, only bought the name and will want all traffic driven to primary blog.
THIRD: set up an email for (email visible only to moderators and staff)
I know there are help documents – but being so new to this, I am confused. When I typed in “candidlycanine” to make the switch – the prompt came back saying it would not accept it.
HELP!
Blog url: http://candidlycanine.wordpress.com/ -
Howdy,
You’ll first want to change your name servers for candidlycanine.com to:
ns1.wordpress.com
ns2.wordpress.com
ns3.wordpress.comYou can make the change at your domain registrar’s website. Then, map the domain to your WordPress.com blog by entering it under your dashboard at Store -> Domains.

You can map as many domains you want to a single blog by following the above steps.
As for your last question, you can use Google Apps to host your custom domain email. Full instructions are here:
