My blog gets redirected to someone else
-
I registered my domain to healthlivingwithlaura.com I did my first post and now it keeps redirecting me to a healthlivingwithlara.com instead of my site. Can you help me? I paid $33.00 to use .com and register my domain. HELP!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Laura!
So, to recap, you’ve purchased the following recently:
Domain registration & mapping: healthylivingwithlaura.co
Domain mapping: healthylivingwithlaura.com
You have only purchased the mapping upgrade for the domain healthylivingwithlaura.com. This upgrade is useful if you’ve already purchased the domain elsewhere. Have you registered the domain at another registrar?
If not, it looks like the domain is already in use by someone else. In that case, I can refund your purchase for healthylivingwithlaura.com. The .co version of your domain (healthylivingwithlaura.co) should work correctly once we get the .com version sorted out.

No, I haven’t purchased it elsewhere, I did start the process of getting it thru Bluehost but I didn’t complete it. So maybe that is why it is saying the domain is in use? What domain can I use then? I guess you will have to refund my money? Laura

Should I continue with the process of bluehost to get the .com? I don’t want it to say .co

Hi Laura!
It looks like the .com version is already in use by someone else. It is owned and managed by GoDaddy as shown by the information here:
http://who.is/whois/healthylivingwithlaura.com
You will not be able to purchase that domain unless you reach out to the current owner directly and offer to buy it from them.
I have removed the .com version and refunded the $13 charge to your account. The domain healthylivingwithlaura.co should now be working correctly on your site.
If you no longer want that domain (the .co version), just let me know, and I will cancel it from your account as well. Please note, however, that once a domain is cancelled, it is returned to the registrar and may be purchased by someone else.

Can I change it to something other than .co I think it will be confusing to people. They gave me a few other choices like .net or org, is that available to use? Or do I have to repurchase those?
-
I have decided to go with another domain Healthlivingwithlaura.net As I don’t like the .co Can you please refund me the .co address?

Done! You can see the refund here:

It looks like you’ve setup healthylivingwithlaura.net, and that domain appears to be working correctly!
