  http://www.day-ellison.com/ is not hosted by WordPress.com and there is no domain mapping upgrade for that domain URL here.

  If you would like to use this domain URL at http://www.day-ellison.com/ to map to from your http://garydayellison.wordpress.com/ blog then you will first need to set up domain mapping.

  Please read:
  wordpress.com vs wordpress.org
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Then read Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  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 every year.

  Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from 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 blog and as you own that domain already you can see here for mapping an existing domain that you already own 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.

  I that is not what you want to do and you want support for day-ellison.com

  http://www.day-ellison.com/ is hosted by Heart Internet and not by WordPress.COM
  WHOIS
  IP Address: 79.170.44.112
  Name Servers:
  ns2.heartinternet.co.uk
  ns.heartinternet.co.uk

  That means you are posting to the wrong support forum as we provide support only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs here.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

  Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
