  Hi, I bought a domain for $18 but after it was activated, when I tried to visit the site, it was redirecting me to the WordPress site. I realized later that while buying system was giving me an option to upgrade to personal site for another $30 but I didn’t select that option and later it was showing me to upgrade to personal site for $8, so I cancelled the registration thinking that I will retry to create personal site for $48 but now I am unable to select the above-mentioned domain. Please help; I am new to this.
  Regards,
  Niki

  Hi Niki,

  Since a refund was already processed, you can go ahead and purchase the Personal plan directly. Do not choose any custom domains; just skip the purchase and keep the free address.

  After that is done, reply here, and we’ll restore your domain back to your site :)

  As per your instructions, I purchased the plan directly. Now can you please restore my domain (www.creations4ever.com)?

  Thanks,
  Niki

  Hi Niki,

  I was able to restore creations4ever.com back to your account and connected it to your Personal Plan.

  Please let us know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Thanks, when I access it, I get redirected to the https://nikiscreationscom.wordpress.com/ page; how do I change that to remain on creations4ever.com site?

  It’s appearing at https://creations4ever.com/ for me.

  When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, your domain may go to its old location, and you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors.”

  If you still have trouble viewing the site after 24 hours have passed, please try clearing your browser’s cache: https://www.refreshyourcache.com/

  If that doesn’t work, try clearing your local DNS cache: https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html
