  Hi,

  You can cancel the domain mapping in Store -> My Upgrades.

  If you were going to use the domain mapping for a subdomain, would you like me to remove the domain mapping subscription and add 13 credits to your account? That way, you wouldn’t need another credit card transaction.

  Hi Lorie,

  It’s also $13. What’s the subdomain you’re trying to map? Do you already own the domain?

  Hi Bryan,

  How do I go about this? I am trying to place the blog I created on http://www.bendrentalguide.com/blog

  I am having the subdomain created on our side of things but just need to know how to set it up in wordpress and get the $13 credit moved over as you said above.

  Thanks,

  Lorie

  Hi Lorie,

  I see that you’ve self refunded the domain mapping upgrade today, so you would need to purchase the domain mapping upgrade again.

  A subdomain (with that domain) will follow this format:

  http://blog.bendrentalguide.com/

  At your domain registrar (GoDaddy according to the whois), can you create a CNAME pointing to bendrentalguide.wordpress.com, then add that subdomain in your WordPress.com blog dashboard in Store -> Domains?

  You can see complete instructions for mapping a subdomain here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  And, you can see more details for adding a CNAME record at GoDaddy’s support page:
