  I am busy putting together my website http://www.lswestafrica.co.za however when I go to publish, it keeps coming up with .com

  I have contacted Domains.co.za where I registered my domain and they have asked that I get the following from you so they can try sorting it out from there side.
  IP Adress and DNS records for the A record and WWW record for the domain.

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

  Hi there.

  The best way to map a domain to a WordPress.com blog is to set your domain’s name servers to the following values:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  However, if your registrar requires that you create A records, please note that our IPs change over time. Because of this, your domain might stop working at some point in the future. If that happens, please get in touch with us to find out the most current IPs and then update your A records, accordingly.

  If you still want to map your domain using A records, please be sure to create two records using these IP addresses:

  192.0.78.25

  192.0.78.24

  Thanks!

  Hi,

  Thank you, we have done as you have suggested, however we can still not view out website on http://www.lswestafrica.co.za.
  It now says that :
  Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain.

  I have gone onto WordPress to map my domain and it asks for a coupon code? I paid for a full year in December 2016. Is the coupon code on the invoice because I do not see it.

  So, they have added our A records? I do not see any update to your Whois Data – I only see that the nameservers are still pointed to your domain host.

  Let me know, thanks!

  Please send me all the DNS records required to point to the hosting server as I am seeing this at the stage.

  The nameservers provided in the previous post should help. Did they try those?
