Domain name mapping
-
I already own the domain name psyclonic.com – if I get this mapped to WordPress, will I still need to maintain my account with the existing registrar, and continue to pay for the domain name and hosting?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you purchase a domain mapping upgrade you will have two payments every year.
1. pay the domain name registrar
2. pay WordPress.com for mapping from your free hosted WordPress.com blog to your domain. -
WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers. The subscription for domain mapping an existing domain is $13.00 per year per blog. And you need to have an underlying .wordpress.com blog URL to domain map from to the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog and purchase upgrades for it.
If you would like to use your domain name purchased elsewhere and map from your free hosted wordpress.com blog to it, then you will first need to set up domain mapping by following these steps. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up 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.
