  nowheatplease.com is hosted by GoDaddy.com
  Name Servers:
  ns11.domaincontrol.com
  ns12.domaincontrol.com

  There is no domain mapping upgrade for nowheatplease.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.

  Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

  Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  Hi again,
  If you read the information at the links I provided above you will find that the result of purchasing an upgrade from WordPress.com and domain mapping from http://nowheatpleasedotcom.wordpress.com/ to http://nowheatplease.com will be a seamless redirect after the domain name propagation has taken place throughout the internet and that can take up to 72 hours. Your visitors will see http://nowheatplease.com.
