  Hi there,

  You will need to add a CNAME record through the registrar where you purchased your domain mauroaluffi.com or through your DNS provider for that domain. The exact instructions for adding a CNAME vary depending on your registrar, but it will look something like this:

  blog.mauroaluffi.com. IN CNAME mauroaluffi.wordpress.com.

  If you aren’t sure how to do that, you can contact your domain registrar for more help with that step. Here’s a message you can send them to explain what you need:

  I would like to map a subdomain of my domain to my blog, which is hosted at WordPress.com. I want to use the subdomain blog.mauroaluffi.com. Can you please add a CNAME record to point that subdomain to mauroaluffi.wordpress.com?

  We also have a full guide for mapping subdomains here: Map a Subdomain

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

  Hi there,

  You should use the format your domain registrar provided you. The exact format for a CNAME record can vary depending on your registrar, so please go ahead and use the one the system gave you.
