    I forwarded my blog to my internet domain. But for a few days now, the forwarding doesn’t work anymore. When I enter the domain name, nothing happens. The blog is only working, if I enter the blog’s name.

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

    Please be clear on that fact that we do not provide support for forwarding and masking any domains at all. That’s an unreliable choice. To do this correctly you can purchase a domain mapping upgrade.

    Please read this first so you are crystal clear on the differences http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    If you own that domain then see here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
