  https://gkst1le.com/ and https://gkst1le.wordpress.com/ are two completely different websites.
  https://gkst1le.com/ ishosted by Hostgator and uses the open source wordpress.org as https://gkst1le.wordpress.com/ is running on the wordpress.com platform.
  Wordpress.com and wordpress.org are tow completely different things, https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  If you want to connect https://gkst1le.com/ to https://gkst1le.wordpress.com/, you must buy or WordPress Pro plan together with domain connection.
  However as you already bought a domain and hosting at Hostgator, you really don’t need to do so.

  Hi,

  Just wanted to mention that we’ve launched our lower-priced “starter” plan that may be what you are looking for:

  Introducing WordPress Starter: Make Your Mark

  Take a look and let us know if anything is unclear or you have any further questions.

  You purchased the domain here at WordPress.com but want to use the domain with a site at a different host. In a previous thread:
  https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/change-name-servers/

  You can point your domain to your new host, even if you cannot transfer the registration, by changing the domain’s name servers:
  From your dashboard, go to Upgrades → Domains.
  Click on the domain you want to edit.
  Click Name servers.
  Click the toggle to disable the “Use WordPress.com name servers” option.
  Enter the name servers you want to use. Your new hosting provider will provide you with the appropriate name servers.
  Click Save custom name servers:

  You keeping asking the same question in multiple different threads and you keep listing http://gkst1le.wordpress.com/ as the site you need help with. That gets confusing for staff as we worry that we aren’t understanding your comments.

  If you are trying to use your domain here, the information about the Starter plan will be useful.

  If you are trying to use your domain elsewhere, the information I gave you here and https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/host-24/?view=all still stands. You need to set your nameservers using these instructions:

  https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/change-name-servers/

  It looks to me like you have done so and according to this DNS checker, your domain should be operating properly:

  https://dnschecker.org/#NS/gkst1le.com

  And indeed, if I go to gkst1le.com I see your hostgator WordPress site and not http://gkst1le.wordpress.com/.

  So, if you are still being sent to http://gkst1le.wordpress.com/ when you type gkst1le.com into your browser, then the issue is with your computer/browser itself. You might try clearing your browser’s cache or using a different browser to see if that helps.
