  Hello,

  I have just brought my domain of bowtieboy.co.uk and mapped it to my blog for bowtieboy.wordpress.com and want it to be my primary domain.

  However when I select it to be my primary domain it says the link is broken. Can someone help me with this please?

  Many thanks,

  Caner

  http://bowtieboy.co.uk/ appears to be working just fine.

  When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors”. Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your internet service provider updates their records. Please rest assured that everything is proceeding normally with your domain.

  You can continue to update your site while your custom domain propagates, by going directly to your Dashboard, here:
