  I think my domain is mapped – but the website is still not up?

  What is the domain URL?

  What is the underlying .wordpress.com URL?

  Which username account registered the underlying .wordpress.com URL and purchased the upgrade?

  Has 72 hours passed since you did the domain mapping set up?

  There is no domain mapping upgrade for darwinathletics.org.au/. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.

  re: mapping an existing domain
  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

  If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.

  Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

  See https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

  Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/

  Your only options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  darwinathletics.org.au is not registered yet. If the domain extension you want to use is not available for registration on WordPress.com, you can register elsewhere and add it to your WordPress.com blog using Domain Mapping.

  I’m seeing http://darwinathletics.org.au/ point to your WordPress.com site.

  So unless I hear otherwise, I’m going to assume this issue has been solved.
