  Hello,

  I have just most recently bought the upgrade on WordPress and I am still getting an error when I visit my link.

  The WordPress URL is: https://stuccoblog.wordpress.com, it is suppose to be mapped and pointed over to http://torontostucco.contractors.

  After upgrading my account, I am still getting the mapping error when visiting http://torontostucco.contractors. Help would be greatly appreciated.

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

  Hi there,
  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 and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium ujpgrade bundle.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain 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 WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. 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.

  Hi there! It looks like you’ve got your WordPress.com domain redirecting to your custom domain. And your custom domain pointing back to WordPress.com.

  Are you trying to set up your domain so that when someone visits torontostucco.contractors they see the site stuccoblog.wordpress.com, which you can see here:

  https://stuccoblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php?return=%2Fwp-admin%2F

  I have paid the $13 for the domain mapping.

  What I am trying to do is map stuccoblog.wordpress.com to go to torontostucco.contractors.

  It says the domain upgrade is not found, but the domain upgrade has been purchased.

  Hi there! It looks like this is working currently. When I visit your WordPress.com address:

  HOME

  I end up on your domain:

  http://torontostucco.contractors/

  @Shawnajroberts

  Correct, the domain goes there, but the website does not load. It’s just a blank page.

  Do you want your WordPress.com site to appear when you visit that URL? Or do you want a website at a different webhost to appear?
