  Attempting to “Map a domain name you already own to your WordPress.com blog” (as an additional domain, i.e. not primary) using the domain “ancestralhealth.nz” with a Premium upgraded account results in “The domain name you entered does not appear to be valid” error. Are “.nz” domains not (yet) supported?

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

  Hi there. According to the Whois database the domain is registered and its nameservers are pointing to WordPress.com, so as far as I know you should be able to map it to you WP.com site.

  I’ve tagged this thread for staff to follow up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting.

  Also note that these threads are answered based on timestamps, oldest first, and every new reply you make to this thread will move it to the back of the queue, so it is best to not post here any further until you hear back from staff.

  I’m seeing ancestralhealth.nz as being mapped correctly.

  kokkieh: Thanks for the reply.
  rootjosh: It wasn’t up until yesterday at which time we finally got the domain mapping setup screen, paid for the mapping and got it all working. I think .nz is a relatively new domain so perhaps had to ok’d at WordPress.com’s end? Either way, all good now.

  Glad that it got sorted out.

  Thanks for using WordPress.
