  I am trying to change my domain name and it comes up with this:

  Point keephush.co.uk’s nameservers to your site

  Using the DNS tools provided by your domain registrar, remove any existing nameservers and add the following:

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

  How do I change it?

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

  Was your domain (keephush.co.uk) registered elsewhere? because when I look it up it seems the domain is available for registration again.

  You’ll need to find a domain registrar that’s able to register .co.uk domains. For example: https://www.123-reg.co.uk/

  After that you can go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. Then you will need to update the name servers as below to map the domain to your WordPress.com blog:

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

  Thank you for getting back to me.

  I registered keephush.co.uk with WordPress and bought it over wordpress? It says that I have purchased it in my billing history.

  Thanks
  Fred

  .co.uk domains can’t be registered at WordPress.com, they can only be mapped. In your case the domain keephush.co.uk has been mapped to your WordPress.com blog. The domain mapping upgrade won’t expire until 2014-09-15, therefore you can follow the steps in my previous reply to properly register the domain and then point it to your WordPress.com blog.
