Site saying its been deleted by authors

  • Unknown's avatar

    My site, which i can access everything for, is saying a different site has been deleted by authors when i try to access it. Why is it saying that and how can I correct it?

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

    This site below is now history:

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

    One has to have a .wordpress.com blog URL which does not have to match the domain URL in order to map from the .wordpress.com blog URL to the domain URL.

    frombellytobirth.com is hosted by GoDaddy.com
    WHOIS: Click Here
    IP Address: 184.168.221.20
    Name Servers:
    ns58.domaincontrol.com
    ns57.domaincontrol.com

    There is no domain mapping upgrade for frombellytobirth.com/. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to register a wordpress.com blog URL and then set up domain mapping.
    re: mapping an existing domain
    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    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, each and every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain 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.

    See https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

    Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/

    Your only options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

    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.

    P.S.I tagged this thread with modlook in the sidebar for a Staff follow-up to make sure you succeed by
    (1) registering another wordpress.com blog URL;
    and
    (2) then purchasing an upgrade and setting up domain mapping to an existing domain.

    So i have already purchased adn applied the domain mapping upgrade for my old blog. It says that my domain is already mapped to another blog.

    ALso for the old one that is saying its been taken down I can go into the domain management and I can select either frombellytobirthcomblog.wordpress.com or frombellytobirth.com there.

    Does this mean that my blog is not really deleted?

    And how can i map to the domain if it’s saying that it’s already mapped to another blog.

    Hello megancnick !

    I checked your account and saw you have the WordPress.com site “frombellytobirthcomblog.wordpress.com” with a domain mapping for “frombellytobirth.com”, but it isn’t fully configured yet, you need to change the nameservers of that domain following the instructions on the link below:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/#2-ask-your-domain-provider-to-update-your-dns-settings

    I checked those other sites (“frombellytobirthdotcom.wordpress.com” and “frombellytobirthcom.wordpress.com”) and found that you have deleted them 2 days ago.

    After you make those changes in your domain registrar, we can transfer the domain mapping upgrade to another site you have (“meetmama.wordpress.com”) if you want.

    Hi, and thanks for your help! I’m sorry but that link is not working, is there another one that might explain what i need to do? Thanks in advance.

    @megancnick, I checked your domain now and saw it’s correctly pointing to your WordPress.com site. I can see it already, if you can’t, you can try to clear your browser cache following the instructions below:
