  My GoDaddy domain name expired (mindismachine.com), so I recently repurchased it for a year and set up domain forwarding to my WordPress site (mindmachinerock.wordpress.com). Unfortunately, this created a redirect loop. I have since deleted the domain forwarding from GoDaddy, but now all I get is “This website is temporarily unavailable, please try again later.” Any ideas?

  Hi!

  It looks like you’ll just need to change the name servers to point to WordPress.com as explained here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#how-to-change-your-name-servers

  Instructions for doing that at GoDaddy can be found here:

  https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/12317/setting-custom-nameservers-for-domains-registered-with-us

  You’ll want to set the name servers as follows:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Can you give that a try?
