    I have been trying to connect my domain name to my blog but it’s not working. Can you help please?
    I am using the hosting service on GoDaddy but somehow WordPress is still asking me to pay for domain mapping. I paid for site redirect this morning but this is not working either.

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

    Hi n00ak,

    I am using the hosting service on GoDaddy but somehow WordPress is still asking me to pay for domain mapping.

    It sounds like you want to redirect the traffic from myweeklyfifty.wordpress.com to a site hosted by GoDaddy. Is that correct?

    Once I know for sure, I’ll be able to give you more information.

    I tried the site redirect option, but when I wrote to support that it wasn’t working they reimbursed me. Now I still cannot link the two.
    But yes, basically I want to be able to use my domain for my blog.

    Hi n00ak,

    myweeklyfifty.com can be connected to your WordPress.com site with domain mapping:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Domain mapping is a feature of all paid plans — Personal, Premium and Business. Once it is fully set up, myweeklyfifty.com will be displayed in your browser’s address bar instead of myweeklyfifty.wordpress.com.

    I tried the site redirect option, but when I wrote to support that it wasn’t working they reimbursed me.

    The site redirect didn’t work because it directs traffic away from your WordPress.com site. Domain mapping works differently and connects a domain to your WordPress.com site.

    I’m happy to answer any questions you have.
