    Currently when we try to map kehitysto.fi domain (according to this https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/) , wordpress says that the address doesn’t exist even though we have bought it.

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

    If the domain extension you want to use is not available for registration on WordPress.com, you can register elsewhere and add it to your WordPress.com blog using Domain Mapping. Staff can add a zone record for you so you can map to an existing domain.

    I typed modlook into the sidebar tags on this forum thread. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then please subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond.

    re: mapping an existing domain
    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from to the domain URL, and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    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.

    Hello Touko –

    Could you please try to map kehitysto.COM (instead of .fi) to your blog, pay for it, and when that’s done, we can change it to kehitysto.fi.

    Please post back here when done so we can take care of that for you.
