  There is no domain mapping upgrade for derriereandcoconuts.com. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  After you do the primary blog set up 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.

  If you failed to register a .wordpress.com blog then the software provided the http://derrireandcoconuts.dot2wordpress.com URL so you could proceed with domain mapping from it to http://derriereandcoconuts.com

  Hi there!

  It looks like you’ve registered the site derriereandcoconuts.wordpress.com with the domain derriereandcoconuts.com mapped to it.

  Everything seems to be working correctly. However, in order for the domain to point to your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the name servers to the following:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  If you don’t know how to do this, you’ll need to contact your registrar for assistance.

  Let me know if I can help further!
