  What’s the best thing to do with my newly bought domain? Should I wait 90days to transfer it(which i think is too long) or should I connect it?
  Tried connecting but they rejected my right postal code so I am stuck! Please help

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

  Hi obennyne,

  Your account hasn’t purchased any domains through WordPress.com, which suggests you have purchased one elsewhere, is that correct? If so, which domain you wish to use to use for obennyne.wordpress.com?

  Should I wait 90days to transfer it(which i think is too long) or should I connect it?

  Domain mapping is a great option if you wish to continue renewing the domain through your current provider.

  Transferring the domain to WordPress.com means your site and domain can be managed from the same place — and it will renew with your plan each year. Newly registered domains are transferred locked so depending on when it was registered, you may not be able to initiate the transfer yet.

  Tried connecting but they rejected my right postal code so I am stuck!

  Do you mean you were trying to purchase a paid plan here but your postcode is being rejected at the checkout? If you let me know which country you are based in, I can check the format it needs to be entered.
