Mapping a domain from 1&1 to WordPress.com
-
Hi,
I have a domain name registered with 1&1 (www.tenutamarmorelle.com). I would like to use this domain name as the primary domain with my http://www.tenutamarmorelle.wordpress.com site. I have tried without any success to change the servers within 1&1 to point to wordpress but something seems to go wrong at a certain point. I get an error message when trying to load the page.
If anybody can give me an idea of how to activate the tenutamarmorelle.com as the main domain?
Thank you very much.
Vincent

Are you using these instructions and purchasing the Domain Mapping Upgrade?

Invalid Nameservers
Your domain is set up with the following name servers or their numeric equivalents:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
SLV2.1AND1.ITMixed name server settings will whack you every time – they both need to be pointing to WordPress.COM or you will get erratic results at best

Thanks, I tried to point to wordpress.com from within the 1&1 setup for the second server but it kept giving me errors. It was asking me for server name and another 3 servers.
At the moment I can’t access the settings as it says there is a problem with the domain but when I check the DNS is comes back with:
Nome di dominio : tenutamarmorelle.com
Indirizzo IP (record A) : 66.155.9.238
Name server 1: ns2.wordpress.com
Name server 2: ns1.wordpress.com
Name server 3: ns3.wordpress.comNot sure what has gone wrong.

Not sure what you are doing with the
Indirizzo IP (record A) : 66.155.9.238
That is one of 6 dynamic IP addresses used by WordPress.COM – I would try deleting that record, the name servers should work just fine. WordPress.COM does not support static IP addresses.
Do you also have email you want to associate with your custom domain name??
