  Hi there, your domain name doesn’t appear to have been registered anywhere yet. (I’ve removed it from your original post for privacy.)

  You can only map a domain that you own. To register a .in domain you’ll need to find a .in registrar – you can find a list here:

  http://www.registry.in/Accredited_Registrars

  Once you register the domain you can update the name servers to point to WordPress, as explained in our guide to mapping an existing domain.

  Just let me know if you need further help.

  Hi

  Thanks for your response.

  I have bought the 99$ pack that gives me the option to opt for a new domain name apart from ciiblog.wordpress.com.

  I registered [domain removed] but when i try domain mapping, it says the DNS needs to be updated, when i try to update this shows up “We checked the nameservers and it looks like they’re not pointing to WordPress.com yet. If you recently updated them please check again soon. It can take a few hours for registrars to complete update their nameservers”

  I dont understand why i need to go to http://www.registry.in/Accredited_Registrars

  Look forward to your earliest reply

  Thanks

  Since at WordPress.com we only register .com, .net, .org, or .me domains, you’ll need to register a .in domain through an accredited .in registrar. I provided a list of registrars where you can do that.

  You’ll need to register your .in domain first before you can point it to a WordPress.com site – it’s not possible to map a domain that you don’t own to a WordPress.com site.

  Let me know if you still have any questions.

  Once again, I’m removing your desired domain name from your post for privacy. Since it hasn’t yet been registered it’s a good idea not to mention it in public, because there is a chance someone could read this post and register the domain before you do. :-)
