  I already have an existing domain that I want to map to my wordpress blog but I also want to purchase a custom domain name from wordpress – can I have so that both custom domain names pull up the same website when people type either one of the web addresses?

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

  Hi there,

  What you can do is set one of the domains as your primary domain, and the other domain will point to the one you set as your primary.

  For example if you have the two domains: example.com and website.com. You can set example.com as the primary domain, so whenever a reader goes to website.com, they will be directed to example.com.

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  Thanks that was really helpful. The other issue that I am having is how to map my domain http://www.monicajeannormil.com to my development.wordpress.com page. I just can’t seem to figure it out.

  Hi there,

  It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=monicajeannormil.com

  Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions!
