  Hi

  I’m trying to upgrade my domain for my wordpress.com blog ( https://darussalampublications.wordpress.com ) and it’s giving me an error message “This credit card was issued from an unsupported country.”
  I’m from Kenya & using visa c.card

  Can somebody help out please

  The only methods of payment for upgrades are major credit cards from approved countries and PayPal supported countries. There are no other payment options. Nigeria is not a supported country

  Oops! I’m sorry I posted “Nigeria”. I meant to type “Kenya”. Both are unsupported countries.

  If i purchase a domain from somewhere else i.e google and redirect it to my wordpress, i guess i’ll have to pay $12 as redirection fees…how can i bypass the process of getting the error above?
  I guess i’ll be forced to pay the $12 with my card and i’m sure it will give me the same error as before :(
