  I have mapping to this site and it’s not working, it says that the domain is expiring but underneath says I’m renewed till 5 Aug 2012…
  why is this so? I need my website accessible
  can you fix it

  Howdy,

  According to your WHOIS record, your domain name appears to be registered elsewhere:
  http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=rockonworkshops.com&type=domain

  You’ll need to renew your domain registration through your current registrar to ensure that your domain remains active. You’ll also want to ensure that your name servers remain pointed to:

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

  Keep in mind that domain mapping is distinct from domain registration. This guide should come in handy if you want to learn more about mapping a domain name that’s registered elsewhere:
