Domain redirect not working
-
I registered a domain name thebeebumbles.com at go daddy last weekend. No hosting, simply registered the name. I then purchased the wordpress domain redirect app. I can see now the two domain options available, thebeebumbles.wordpress.com and thebeebumbles.com in my wordpress dashboard. I have gone into my go daddy account more than three days ago, and selected “set nameservers”, and then i selected “I have specific nameservers for my domains” and entered the three wordpress nameservers “ns1.wordpress.com, ns2.wordpress.com, ns3.wordpress.com” as directed. I then chose thebeebumbles.com as my primary domain in my wordpress dashboard.
When i try to go to thebeebumbles.com i get “server not found”. When i go to thebeebumbles.wordpress.com, it redirects to thebeebumbles.com, but again, i get “server not found”.
All i wanted to do was have my wordpress site displayed when a user goes to thebeebumbles.com, with the url displayed as thebeebumbles.com and not thebeebumbles.wordpress.com
Am i missing something?
My wordpress blog is thebeebumbles.wordpress.com
My domain is thebeebumbles.comThanks!

I also checked my domain thebeebumbles.com on a DNS test site and got this:

Also, in my desperation to get this working, i had set my domain redirect at some point to “www.thebeebumbles.com”. Now i am trying to change it back to just “thebeebumbles.com” in Store>Domains>Site Redirects but it just reverts to “www.thebeebumbles.com”!
According to that page, i should be able to change my redirect to whatever i want:
Site Redirect
This blog is currently being redirected to http://www.thebeebumbles.com. You can change the destination of the redirect or delete the redirect below. If you would like to disable the redirect without deleting it, select another domain in the table above and click “Update Primary Domain.”Ugh…

I’m sorry but I am multitasking from work today and I do not have the time to read all that above there. I tagged this thread for Staff assistance.

You purchased a Site Redirect upgrade, that directs your WordPress.com blog to a site hosted elsewhere.
You want a Domain Mapping upgrade.
I have canceled and refunded your Site Redirect upgrade so you can now map your domain following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
