  We do not provide support for forwarding. We provide domain mapping upgrade. Your domain at http://theplainmess.com/ does not appear to be mapped from http://theplainmess.wordpress.com/ There is no primary domain set for theplainmess.wordpress.com. This means that although theplainmess.com will forward to the site, theplainmess.com will appear in the browser address bar.

  Hi there,

  If you want to transfer out a domain registration you can do so with this support guide:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  However, if you just want to host the domain elsewhere, you can keep your domain registered here and just update the nameservers:

  Move Your Domain to Another Host

  Just note your domain is still registered with us so you would need to renew it with us yearly in addition to host.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this.

  Thank you very much. I tried all of the above. I think the domain is now registred on one.com. But when I type theplainmess.com in my browser I still get directed to theplainmess.wordpress.com. and I can’t delete my blog, which I intend to do.
  Can you help me here?

  I have accepted the pending transfer so the domain is no longer registered through us. You can now delete your site. If you want to permanently delete your site, follow the guide below:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/

  Please read the warnings and advice before deleting a site, as we can’t revert a site deletion for any reason.

  If you want to hide your site instead, you can use the following guide to make your site private so only you and other members of the site can view it when logged in:
