  I just recently got a wordpress.com account and registered my domain name, chrisdmooney.com, as part of my premium package. I am having issues setting my domain to use wordpress.com name servers. I have gone to my edit domain options and have clicked the bubble to use wordpress.com name servers, but it says there is an issue and it can’t switch to wordpress.com name servers. Not only that but the servers that are currently listed in the n1 and n2 spots are titled “.suspended-for.spam-and-abuse.com.” Why the heck would my domain that I literally just purchased a few days ago and haven’t even really begun to use be suspended? I also can’t update any of my Domain Contacts information. When I click on that tab it has a loading icon that stays loading forever (at least as long as it takes me to get frustrated and give up). All I want to do is have the domain name i registered on wordpress.com actually work.

  Thanks for the support in advance,
  Chris

  Note that http://chrisdmooney.wordpress.com is correctly redirecting to http://chrisdmooney.com/ The nameservers appear to be set up correctly for chrisdmooney.com. It can take as long as 72 hours for DNS changes to become widely available. If you’re still not seeing your site loading at chrisdmooney.com, please wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache, and try again.

  Yes the issue actually seemed to fix itself. I am so excited to have my Domain name, and I am learning how to use my dashboard. It’s exciting stuff :)

  Thank you for the quick response,
  Chris
