  I have a question about domain mapping service.
  I don’t understand it clearly and I need your help

  suppose I have two domains.
  domain A is a wordpress page
  domain B is not a wordpress page
  I am currently have domain B but there is nothing.
  Literally i am only owning it

  So, when i do domain mapping,
  if one types ‘domain A’ it will show the contents of domain A but with domain B name on the browser right?

  but what if one types domain B
  will his/her browser also show wordpress page(contents of domain A) of mine?

  thank you for reading this.

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

  Domains are not websites: they are only the addresses of websites.

  Please give us the actual URLs you are talking about, starting with http.

  Hi Lovebaek,

  The short answer is Yes, after you map your domain name, your readers will be able to access your blog at that ‘B’ domain name instead of ‘Domain A’. Visitors to the old address will be automatically redirected. You’ll have to renew that new domain name annually, by the way.

  Best wishes,
  Ren

  Thanks! both of you!

  I got, actually my professor got, a school domain bmol.kaist.ac.kr recently
  and my lab has been using bmokaist.wordpress.com as our lab website

  So he wants bmol.kaist.ac.kr to show(or redirects to) bmokaist.wordpress.com

  It seems like domain mapping will solve the problem!
