Help to activate New Domain Name
-
I purchased a new domain name via wordpress
romanwarrior.com to replace my existing one romanworrior.com.It has not updated and given me a bunch of instructions I do not understand.
These are the directions:
In order to get things working, you’ll need to visit your domain registrar’s site and update your name servers. The registrar is the company you own this domain through, either where you purchased it originally or transferred it to.Your name servers are currently set to:
dns.yourdomainhasexpired.COM
dns2.yourdomainhasexpired.COMThese will need to be changed to:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COMPlease help

Hi there,
You did not register the domain romanwarrior.com with us, you only bought a domain mapping upgrade. Domain mapping will only work if you already own the domain, which it appears you don’t.
The WhoIs data shows that romanwarrior.com was registered in 2004 with the registrar rebel.com. That domain expired on 12 June 2016 and is currently in what is called the Redemption period. That’s a period between when a domain expired and when it’s released which lasts about 80 days. So if you want to register that domain you’ll need to wait until it expires completely, which will be at least another two months.
My suggestion is that you cancel the domain mapping upgrade for a full refund for now. Then you can try to register that domain once it becomes available again, or you can try to register a different domain.

Thank you Kokkieh :-)
I appreciate you helping a novice like me.
This was something I was not aware of, and I will go ahead and do that.
Many thanks

I see your refund has been processed. You should receive it in a few days.
Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
