  Looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet. Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

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

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

  Let us know if you have any questions!

  But where is the name servers? Is it where it says “edit DNS”? Cause when I go there and edit it, I can’t add these:

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

  Sorry about the confusion. You’ll need to change the nameserver records at your domain registrar. That’s the place where you purchased/registered your domain, which is http://directnic.com/

  So since I bought the domain on WordPress, I use directnic automatically?

  The domain was registered at DirectNic.com, but you also purchased a domain mapping at WordPress.com. The domain mapping activates the ability to redirect an existing domain to your WordPress.com blog.

  You can contact your domain registrar to help you set the nameserver records.

  Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.

  Sorry for all the questions but I did everything on WordPress so I don’t have an account for DirectNic.com so do I make one in this case?

  Ahh I see the confusion here. You might have tried to register adrenalize.com on WordPress.com, but it’s actually already owned by someone else (since 1998).

  I’ve just canceled the upgrade and refund the money back to you.

  Feel free to register a different domain name. You can go to Store > Domains on your blog’s dashboard and follow the steps there.

  Please take a look at the following guide before going through the process.

  Let us know if you need any help.
