  Here’s what I’d like to do: Map my domain to wordpress.com, eliminate ericdmunoz.wordpress.com, make my domain (ericdmunoz.com) my primary wordpress.com site, and purchase the premium option.

  I know I need to go through the process of mapping my domain through WordPress.com, but I’m not sure what I need to do after that.

  Help? Plz & ty.

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

  Hi @ericdmunoz, sorry we didn’t catch this earlier.

  If you’ve moved all of your content over to your wordpress.com site and you’re ready to point the domain here, here’s how:

  First, choose a plan here:
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  Then use the domain credit at https://wordpress.com/domains

  Finally, update the domain settings to point to our servers, and wait a few hours for that to take effect.

  @supernovia,

  Thank you so much! Do I still need to keep my domain w/ my previous host and just point them to my wordpress.com site?

  @ericdmunoz yup! You’d update it to use these name servers:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com
