Having problems linking WordPress to GoDaddy hosting.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I followed the directions closely (or so I thought) and I updated the name servers to NS1,2 & 3 on GoDaddy. For other sites I’ve registered, there was an IP address to link to the GODaddy DNS but I couldn’t seem to find one for this site. Do I add the 3 IP addresses (here:http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/) there to A (host)? I purchased domain mapping through WordPress, as well.

    Everytime I click on the blog, it reloads back to the main wordpress site. I know it takes up to 48 hours to refresh, but i’d still like to be able to update the page and get it up before running it.

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

    You are trying to map a domain you purchased through godaddy to a blog here at wordpress.COM?

    What is the URL you are trying to map?

    Under Dashboard> Store I see:
    Domain:bobpatinka.com
    Created: December 11, 2011
    Subscription: Expiring Will stop functioning on December 11, 2012

    Edit DNS: there is nothing inside edit DNS

    I just did a “whois” and your domain name nameservers are definitely showing up as the wordpress.com nameservers, so the propagation is underway. I’m seeing “Patinka Motorsports” on the Vostok theme under that domain name right now, so everything is fine. How soon you will see it depends on how often your ISP updates their nameserver caches. Some do it less often than others and it is something that is outside anyone’s control really.

    Give it a little time and when you go to look, make sure and clear your browser cache first to make sure it isn’t pulling files from the cache.
