  I purchased the domain name cubapolitica.com and am trying to make that the page that people visit and, if needed, get redirected to http://cubapolitica.wordpress.com/. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I can get this done. Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It looks like you’re very close! All you need to do is set your custom domain cubapolitica.com as the primary domain here:

  https://cubapolitica.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  and then everything should work!

  I did that and now it’s saying that the page can’t be displayed.

  Whoops! It looks like you still need to update the name servers to point to WordPress.com rather than interland.net. Once you do that, it will take up to 72 hours for the domain information to propagate across the internet so your domain will work properly.

  Even if both websites are through WordPress? I’ll contact interland.net. Thanks!

  You need the name servers to point to your hosting. If your site is hosted on WordPress.com, the name servers need to point to:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM
