  What is the exact URL starting with http:// of the site you refer to please?

  And, exactly which username account registered that site?

  I’m asking because we cannot accurately answer questions posted here until we have confirmed the URL referred to and verified the hosting. And, that is why we are all prompted to provide the relevant URL when we create a new thread.

  Nameservers Validated!
  Congratulations! The nameservers appear to be set up correctly for promotrendsandtopics.com.

  Oops, No Primary Site Set
  There is no primary domain set for promotrendsandtopicscom.wordpress.com. This means that although promotrendsandtopics.com will forward to the site, promotrendsandtopics.com will appear in the browser address bar. To learn more about setting a primary domain, please see our documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/#setting-the-primary-domain

  https://promotrendsandtopicscom.wordpress.com is no longer available.The authors have deleted this site.

  You deleted the underlying .wordpress.COM blog URL and you have to have one to be able to domain map from it to a domain URL. It does not have to match the domain URL.

  Thank you so much! Does this mean my site is gone forever?

  Hi there,

  So you inadvertently deleted promotrendsandtopicscom.wordpress.com and I take it you were in the process of mapping promotrendsandtopics.com over to that WordPress.com blog before you deleted it?

  As @Timethief mentioned, the WordPress.com URL doesn’t need to match the custom domain, especially since it is going to be masked by the custom domain and no one will see it.

  Are you okay with creating a WordPress.com URL similar to the one you deleted (like promotrendsandtopicscomblog)?

  Let me know if you were planning on mapping the domain over to WordPress and if that is the blog that you intended to use. Thanks!
