information about domains,

  • Unknown's avatar

    hi!
    I’ve found some information about domains, but not really an answer to my question.
    I’ve created a blog xxxxxx.wordpress.com
    Now I want to turn it into xxxxxxx.com
    do I have an option to take your offer that I’ve rejected while registering of .com for $18 ?
    or do I go to buy a domain, and do what?
    is that all I need?
    Do I need a server? or your system is enough?
    provided that it’s gonna be text, few photos, ad links to youtube
    sorry for being a nonsense :)
    Thank you!
    Alina

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

    yes

    no

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you can log in under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

    Make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
