  I upgraded to premium because it said that I will be able to take out the “wordpress” from the domain name. I want my blog to be found under http://www.flrm-ebc.de. I already purchased this domain and now whenever someone visits my site I just want him to see “www.flrm-ebc.de. Can you please help me?

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

  Hello there, I see that you’ve already purchased domain mapping for your custom domain. The next step is changing your name servers with your domain registrar.

  If you have any trouble doing that on your own, you can contact them and ask the following:

  I would like to use my domain with a WordPress.com site. In order to do this, I need to point my domain’s name servers to the following:

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

  I do not want to transfer my domain, but want to leave it registered with you. WordPress.com does not permit mapping by setting an A record to point to an IP address. They require the name servers to be updated as described.

  Once you’ve updated your name servers, it can take some time for the change to take full effect (up to 72 hours, but normally much less). If you notice that you still see your old holding page or an error message when you load your domain, don’t panic. Give it a few hours, and then try clearing your browser cache.

  The final step will be to return to your Dashboard at WordPress.com. Click Store → My Domains. Click on flrm-ebc.de/ and make it your Primary Domain.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks very much.

  Thanks for your reply. I did as instructed but now unfortunately it tells me “too many redirects”. What to do next?

  Hi there! Any adjustments you make to your DNS settings can take up to 72-hours to propogate. We need to give your registrar a bit more time.

  In the meantime, so you wouldn’t get caught up in the redirect loop, I made flrmebc.wordpress.com your primary address once again. It is visible to anyone who wishes to visit the site.

  Flrm-ebc.de shouldn’t be made primary until the propogation is complete. In a couple days, adjust your primary domain, and let me know how it works.

  Looking forward to hearing from you!
