  Hello,

  If someone could help me I would be greatly appreciated!
  I originally had my domain with homestead.com (did not like them), so I switched over to wordpress.com. I was under the impression that the domain was mapped over to wordpress.com, but now the domain has expired with homestead websites.

  I do not know how to update the DNS, domain in wordpress for my site to be active and function.

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

  Hi there. First, you’ll need to renew your domain with your current registrar (the domain’s WhoIs data shows it as http://tucowsdomains.com/), as WordPress.com doesn’t accept incoming domain transfers.

  Then you need to buy the domain mapping upgrade from the WordPress.com dashboard. The support doc explains how to update your name servers: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Hello,

  Thank you so much for your response. I imagined that I would have to do that, but I wasn’t too sure.

  Thank you so much for your feedback.

  Best regards,
  Zurama
