  Hi!

  I´m from Austria and I owned the domain http://www.fräuleingrün.at
  Now I have the Problem that WordPress don´t accept this domain? I´m not a real pro in this things so I hope you can help me. I already changed my DNS into :

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

  Thank you so much,

  Karina

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

  I’m afraid WordPress.com does not support domain mapping for IDNs at this time.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/#internationalized-domain-names-idns

  Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)

  Your domain name is an IDN if it contains language-specific characters such as ä, û, ע, ж, 字, मा. Domain mapping for IDNs, also known as Internationalized Domain Names, is not currently supported.

  I have added the domain mapping upgrade for xn--fruleingrn-r5a90a.at to your WordPress.com site. It currently will expire in one week. Please check to see if it is working correctly. And if so, renew before next week in order for Domain Mapping to continue working.

  Let me know if you have any trouble.

  Good Morning!

  now after a week later, i tried my domain fräuleingrün.at and it links to my wordpress blog but it switches to the domain
  https://fraeuleingruenblog.wordpress.com/

  it would be nice if there is the same name – fräuleingrün.at
  Do I have to be a little bit more patience or do I have to do something else on my blog what I don´t know?

  Thx for your support!

  It looks like https://fraeuleingruenblog.wordpress.com/ was still set as your primary domain. I have made the switch. I now see fräuleingrün.at in my address bar when visiting your site.
