Domain upgrade not working?

  Bought my domain name, did what the site told me to, but when I type sichas.com into a browser (tried on a laptop and an iPhone) it can’t find the server. sichasgames.wordpress.com isn’t popping up anymore either since that’s being forwarded to sichas.com

  Now, maybe nothing is wrong, and I’m 100% fine with that if it takes awhile.

  My question is exactly that: should this be instantaneous or does it take awhile behind-the-scenes to get everything up and running? I just don’t wanna start telling my friends about my shiny new domain name until they can actually navigate to it :)

  Cheers, and thank you very much.

  Hi. Yes, it takes a while for the domain name to work properly, but I can see it already.
  Please refer to the part in italics in step 5 below:

  You’re welcome. One more thing: I suggest you change the address linked to your username (which is an old deleted blog):
