  recently attempted to register a new domain but never received a verification email and while I attempted to visit my blog via my new domain, a page stating that the domain did not exist popped up instead.

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

  On February 13th you setup a domain mapping for this URL:

  apicturesquememory.blog.com

  Domain mapping upgrades are different from a domain registration. They are meant for when you want to use a domain on WordPress.com but you’ve already purchased the domain elsewhere.

  That URL only makes sense if you currently own the domain blog.com and wish to map the subdomain apicturesquememory.blog.com to a WordPress.com site. It doesn’t appear that’s the case here, so I’ve removed the domain mapping upgrade and reset your Premium plan’s domain credits.

  To register a new domain, visit this Page:

  https://wordpress.com/domains

  Click “Register a New Domain” and follow that process. When its time to checkout, your Premium plan will credit the cost of the domain registration for you.
