  Hi

  I have just paid for domain mapping on http://www.bokashi4africa.wordpress.com using my registered domain http://www.bokashi4africa.co.za. I am not sure if I have to do anything else. I have asked the domain registration service to put in the DNS records for WordPress their side, but how long will it take to resolve? Please can you instruct me, I have never done this before and am not very literate in this arena.

  Many thanks and warm regards

  Hi,

  The name servers for bokashi4africa.co.za are currently pointing to:

  ns1.host-h.net
  ns1.dns-h.com
  ns2.host-h.net

  At your domain registrar, you can update your name servers to point to:

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

  Once you do that, it can take between 24–72 hours for the DNS changes to propagate. You can also see more details about mapping an existing domain here:

  I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. :-)
