    Hi, I’m trying to point a domain from GoDaddy to wordpress.
    Wordpress tells me that I already point the domain, but when I try to access, it looks like is pointing to nothing.

    I already waited the 24hr.

    Another point is that the domain appears 2 times in my wordpress dashboard.
    It appears in the options to choose the domain and appears like another wordpress account.

    Can somebody help me please?

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

    Please provide the URL for the domain question in the form of an active link starting with http://

    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    If you own that domain then see here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

    If you are not successful let us know:
    (a) Exactly what kind of device you are using to connect to the internet and to WordPress.com.
    (b) Exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://supportdetails.com/
    (c) Exactly what you experience including what any error reports you receive state.
    (d) Exactly what the domain URL is.

    I had problem with the domain http://betoqueiroz.com to point to http://betoqueiroz.wordpress.com

    FIrst I purchased the domain in wordpress.com, than I transfered to GoDaddy. Now I’m trying to get back to wordpress.com pointing the domain. But it’s not working well.

    As you said, I put the domain “betoqueiroz.com” in the “www.whatsmydns.net” site.

    In the Nameserver is everything OK! But in the Host (A) it’s not working.

    Browser: Google Chrome.
    Device: Notebook HP Pavillion / Chromebook
