  I bought my domain name from 1 and 1 and did not realize that I need hosting also. I have paid for domain mapping so far.

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

  Hi there,

  At WordPress.com, you get a free WordPress-powered blog no matter what, which has the name (yourblog).wordpress.com. In your case it is pamelakjohnson.wordpress.com.

  Since you purchased domain mapping, when someone visits your domain pamelakjohnson.com, once you update your nameservers at 1and1, they’ll be taken to the WordPress.com site that you’ve built at pamelakjohnson.wordpress.com.

  We don’t actually provide normal hosting where you can FTP files, etc. Instead with us you just manage your WordPress site through the normal WordPress interface and can upload your files as you like.

  Let me know if that makes sense to you and if you need any help!
