  I own the domain gositeshopping.com and you guys keep on telling me that someone else has it. I did use it with SFM but I quite them and I’m still the owner of this site or domain name I would like to work on it now, so how do I do that?
  Thanks

  gositeshopping.com is hosted by GoDaddy.com
  WHOIS
  IP Address: 50.63.202.55
  Name Servers:
  ns66.domaincontrol.com
  ns65.domaincontrol.com

  There is no domain mapping upgrade for gositeshopping.com here at WordPress.COM. And I could be wrong but I suspect you are posting to the wrong support forum because there is no WordPress.COM URL posted above or linked to your username.

  If you would like to use this domain to map to from a WordPress.COM blog you will first need to register a .wordpress.com blog and then purchase domain mapping. See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Otherwise, We provide support only for sites hosted by WordPress.COM and that site is not one of them.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  Hi Catherine!

  Just a note, I’ve removed your phone number from the original post as this forum is public.

  As Timethief mentioned, you should be able to map a domain you already own to your site following the steps here:

  Let me know if that doesn’t work!
