  I have a domain with ddirectnic (www.banahaffar.com) that I would like to link to my word press account. Directnic mentioned that I need to point the domain to their default nameservers
  ns0.directnic.com
  ns1.directnic.com

  is this accurate?

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

  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.

  How domain mapping works
  Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  thanks for the reply. my URL is registered with directnic, would the wordpress site have to point to their nameservers or vice versa?
