Domain mapping works…sub-domain doesn’t

    My domain mapping finally works. Now, I have a new problem with my domain http://www.30-fps.com. I read in the forum before I did the domain mapping, that if I want to still see my old site in http://www.30-fps.com, I would have to make sub-domain, which I did. When I finally did the domain mapping and tried to access my sub-domain, test.30-fps.com, I could not access it. I reported it to support of my service provider, which ixwebhosting.com, and they said that I can’t access the files because my nameservers are not pointing to ixwebhosing. They suggested I change it back to ixwebhosting to be able to view my files. (They gave me another option for accessing the files though, but not using the sub-domain I created, and was able to access download files that way.)
    Is what they are telling me correct? The only way to view http://www.test.30-fps.com, is to point back my dns nameservers to ixwebhosting.com, which will get rid of my domain mapping. Could somebody suggest another way?

    I’m not entirely sure what you want? You can’t have your website be a subdomain of your WP.com blog. It just doesn’t work that way. The opposite does work; the WP.com blog as a subdomain of the main site. Sounds like you’re doing it backwards?
