  Hi,

  Yes, the information and instructions you need are in the Use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping) support page.

  Hi musicdoc1 thank you.

  I have another question please.

  If I add besmart.lu to calogeromastrantonio.wordpress.com. (redirection)
  If I write besmart.lu on my URL… After the redirection which URL the people will see ? besmart.lu or calogeromastrantonio.wordpress.com ?

  Regards.

  Hi there,

  It looks like you’ve already removed the domain mapping again, but if you follow the steps in the page @musicdoc1 linked you to your WordPress.com site will show at your .lu domain. It will take a few hours to work, as the name servers take a while to update, and then you can set the primary domain at My Site ->Domains. Whichever domain is set as primary will be the one your visitors will see.

  Note that a redirect is something completely different than domain mapping. A redirect is for when you want someone who click on the link to your WordPress.com site to go to a completely different site.
