  Hi there,

  For domain mapping to work, first you have to purchase the $13 domain mapping upgrade. Please look at the mapping guide here.

  Once you have done that, then comes the next step of changing your name servers.

  Currently, your host has only changed the A record/IP address, this is not the recommended way of pointing a domain. Please read the guide above, it will list three name servers:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  Tell Afrihost to change your domain’s name servers to the above name servers. Do this after you have paid the $13 domain mapping fee.
