  I have just paid and mapped my domain name
  http://www.sunderlandparents.co.uk to my wordpress site
  http://www.sunderlandparents.wordpress.com
  and now neither site will load. I can’t even get to the site from my wordpress page!

  The domain name is with Gandi and I changed the name servers hence why I was able to pay and map. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really have no idea where I have gone wrong.

  One thing to note is that when it is trying to load the page the domain name in the web address bar flickers from wordpress.com to .co.uk quickly until finally failing to load.

  Thanks in advance

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

  http://sunderlandparents.co.uk/ – loads fine for me – it can take 24 to 72 hours for changes to migrate to the far corners of the internet but changes usually start after a few hours – you will be the last to see the changes due to caching issues

  It’s redirecting correctly for me too.

  You be welcome

  Everyone should do that when they do the domain mapping – save a lot of grief
