  I bought a domain off Godaddy, papersense.ca and want to map it to my existing blog papersenseltd.wordpress.com. I purchased the domain mapping and set up papersense.ca as my primary domain. It has been more than 72 hours since the update but for some reason the domain mapping is not working. Everytime I visit http://www.papersense.ca it redirects me to a Go Daddy page stating, “The webpage is parked for free”

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

  I order the mapping of my site (alaintruong2014) to an existing domain I own (alaintruong.com) 4 days ago. This domain is not mapped yet (I cleared cache and cookies). None of my friends with different ISPs can see my WordPress blog when accessing alaintruong.com (still accessing the old Canalblog blog). I’m concerned something went wrong.

  The blog I need help with is alaintruong.com.

  Please check your name servers

  Non-WordPress.com Nameservers

  Although papersense.ca has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up. If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined below.

  To learn about how to correctly map an existing domain, please see our documentation. If you’re not sure whether you own this domain or not, the WHOIS database record may help you out.
