  My domain had expired and it should have been transferred to my other host. I would like the new host to be able to host that domain, so I am confused why WordPress still has my domain, why I have to renew it here and not on my actual host, and why I am paying for mapping when the domain is not for my WordPress blog.
  Blog url: http://xcsli.wordpress.com/

  Hi there,

  Your domain is registered here and is set to expire on November 5, 2011. Domain registration is distinct from web hosting, so your domain will remain registered here unless you transfer it to another registrar, or let it expire.

  If you wish to transfer it to another domain registrar, you’ll want to follow these instructions:

  Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)

  My issue is that I already transferred the domain to my current host. My host has it registered there, but the DNS can’t verify it.

  xcsli.com is still registered here, and I don’t see any transfer attempts. When did you try to transfer it, or did you just change your nameservers?
