  Hi,
  I bought a domain name from GoDaddy but when I went to use it to open a WordPress Premium account it stated that because the domain name had only recently been purchased I couldn’t use it until August – which is too late.
  Do you have any advice on how I could get this domain name active now so I can purchase a Premium account and get my blog live.
  kind regards
  Simon

  Hi Simon,

  you will need to wait 60 days to transfer your domain to WordPress.com, but you can still use it with your site by mapping it:
