Domain name servers
-
I changed the dns for my domain (bombusentomology.com), but something seems wrong. I was hoping that the page I created with WordPress (bombus2.Wordpress.com) would appear at my domain. Instead, nothing loads when I go to bombusentomology.com. I checked with domain.com where my domain is registered and they said that it is because of “DNS conflict”. I hope you can help.
WP.com: Yes
Jetpack: No
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
It looks like your WordPress.com site is on a free plan. To use a custom domain with your WordPress.com site, your site must be on a WordPress.com plan.
If you’re mostly interested in adding your domain, I recommend the WordPress.com Starter plan. It lets you use your custom domain while also eliminating WordPress.com ads, increasing storage limit, and allowing access to email support. You can upgrade using the button below:
After upgrading, please follow the steps here to add a Domain Connection:
If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and connect it to your WordPress.com site. About Domain Connection Connecting a domain to your WordPress.com site means: Your domain will show the site you created on WordPress.com withoutWithin 72 hours of adding the WordPress.com nameservers to your domain (The instructions for this are on the link above), it will start loading your WordPress.com site. You can then set your custom domain as the primary address by following these steps.
When all that’s done, your WordPress.com site will load at your custom domain.
