  Hello @munirchowdhury,
  I checked out your domain http://ontheverge.info/ on Whois and it shows that it is still using the following nameservers:

  ns24.domaincontrol.com
  ns23.domaincontrol.com

  Did you map your domain to your WordPress account? If not then please follow this support guide to map your domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/, using the following nameservers:

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

  NOTE: Domain mapping requires a paid WordPress.COM plan. So make sure you upgrade in order to map your domain to your wordpress.com site.

  Thanks! 🙂

  Hi otpidusprime,

  I checked the URL u provided & it just says for the paid wordpress.com sites. But mine is a free site.
  I found in the dashboard link option n made godaddy URL linked there.
  Thnx for taking the initiative.

  You cannot connect a domain(registered from an external registrar like GoDaddy) to your WordPress.COM site with a free account. You need to upgrade your account to be able to do that.
