  I’m completely confused about how to move my WordPress site (www.patricksharma.wordpress.com) to http://www.patricksharma.com, which I bought through Google. I recently purchased domain mapping from you guys, but do not know how to change the domain name DNS settings to NS1-NS3 WordPress.com. Is this something that you can help me with? Thanks.

  Hi Patrick!

  I’m glad to see that you were able to update your nameservers at your domain registrar.

  In Store -> Domains of your dashboard, you can make sure your custom domain is set as the primary domain (which is what your visitors will see).

  Let me know if you have any other questions! :-)

  Yep, thanks Bryan! One more question:

  Is there a way for me to move my site over to patricksharma.com? Right now it just redirects to my wordpress pages, which is causing some problems in my browser.

  Thanks!

  Do you have your own host?

  If you’re getting a redirect error, can you try clearing your browser cache and flush your DNS cache?
