  Dear friends,

  I am having much difficulties in mapping my personal domain to my blog on WordPress. I have read through many instruction to configure on DNS Control Panel, but after all my effort , it is still not working . This is the screenshot from my DNS Control Panel http://www.flickr.com/photos/kahunavn/4800582639/ . I’m setting up wordpress together with other Google Apps service. Does it bother to each other ?

  I have configured and waited for quite long but it doesn’t take effect at all. Please advise me if any of my setting is wrong, and how i should change to the correct one,

  Really appreciate any of your help,

  Sincerely

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

  What is the WordPress.com blog address, starting with http? What address are you attempting to map to it? Have you purchased the Domain Mapping upgrade?

  Hi friend,

  Mine is http://kahunavn.wordpress.com , and i attempt to map it to http://www.kahuna.vn . I haven’t finished the Domain mapping step, therefore couldn’t proceed to Domain Mapping purchasing.

  @kahunavn, I think you need to contact staff on this since I think they will have to make a change and add a zone record so that you can map a .vn domain to wordpress.

  Contact

  Send another request to staff. It could be that it got lost or something. I’ll also tag this thread and perhaps they will see it and get back to you, or post here in this thread.

  It’s the weekend. They used to disallow domain changes on weekends because there wasn’t enough staff.

  I checked and we have answered both requests sent in by kahunavn so perhaps check to make sure your email is working.

  I added a zone record for kahuna.vn in case that helps.

  The image you provided shows you have setup A records for your domain, but you should update name servers instead:

  When I lookup the kahuna.vn A records right now, I get back a 112.213.89.3 IP address which is not a WordPress.com IP.

  Once the domain is mapped, you can setup Google Apps using these instructions:

  You can setup any other custom DSN you need with the DNS editor:
