  Hi there,

  I set up my wordpress account yesterday and wrote my first post today. I also purchased a .com domain and paid to have it mapped to wordpress. I’m just unsure as to what I now need to do to go live? I feel that it should be intuitive as I followed all of the steps but now I’m stuck!

  Thanks for your help,
  Niamh

  Hi,

  You can find out a lot of information regarding domains on WordPress.com here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  It is worth a read if you are looking at using domains.

  Kind Regards,

  After you set the nameservers correctly to
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Note that 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.
