  I have purchased the $99 wordpress upgrade for the knowledgetransferhw.ac.uk wordpress site and it states ‘Domain name & Mapping’ allows ‘map a domain you already own’. I have followed advice at http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ ‘Map an existing domain’ but at the stage 2 ‘go to Store -> Domains ‘ it only allows for purchase of a free domain name but i do not want that, I just want to map existing .ac.uk domain name. I see there is a charge ‘Domain mapping is a paid upgrade that costs $13.00 per domain, per year.’, do I have to pay that in addition to the $99 I have paid? Any advice greatly appreciated, Frank

  I have manually added a zone record for your domain.

  You should now be able to map it here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
