  Hello,

  About 36 hours ago, i ordered domain mapping for my site irbmedia.wordpress.com. I also changed the DNS servers at my Hosting provider (Argeweb) to the Wordpess DNS servers. Although, the domain http://www.irb-media.nl still isn’t running.

  What can i or you do to fix this?

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

  Hi there,
  Not to worry, as Staff can and will sort this for you.

  Staff have to add a zone record so you can proceed with mapping an existing domain. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  I typed modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help.

  Hi there,

  I checked the nameservers for irbmedia.nl and it appears that they have not been changed to point over to WordPress.com. This is the nameservers I see:

  ns3.argewebhosting.nl
  ns1.argewebhosting.eu
  ns2.argewebhosting.com

  I would check back with your domain host and make sure that the namesevers have been updated.

  For more information on mapping a domain to WordPress.com, please visit our support page:

  Thanks!

  I was assuming you were not referring to irbmedia.nl and not irb-media.nl since it is the former that is registered with us. If you are also trying to register irb-media.nl, let me know and I will take a further look into the issue for you.

  Thank you!

  Good day. I have a redirect for irbmedia to irb-media.nl at my hoster.
  For irb-media.nl the nameservers are changed last week.

  Must i adjust something?

  I just changed the nameservers of irbmedia.nl into the wordpress DNS. Hopefully it will work soon now :)

  Hi there,

  It can take up to 72 hours for the domain to propagate throughout the internet. Let me know if you do not see any change over the next few days.

  Thanks!

  Good day,

  Now the situation is:

  -irb-media.nl gives: ‘Server not found.’
  -irbmedia.nl, redirects to my wordpress blog: irbmedia.wordpress.com

  Did i do something wrong?

  Are you wanting to map irb-media.nl to WordPress.com? Because there is not a mapping subscription under you account for that domain. Also, I was under the impression that irbmedia.nl is supposed to map to irbmedia.wordpress.com. Is that the case?

  If not, let me know and I will assist you in getting everything set up the way you like.

  Thanks!

  Gotcha!

  I have added the mapping subscription for irb-media.nl to your blog and removed the mapping subscription for irbmedia.nl.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Hey there,

  Yes, you can set the custom domain as the primary domain by going to Store > My Domains under your dashboard.

  Let me know if you need any additional help! Thanks!
