  Hi,

  I’m trying to configure my domain danielviveiros.com.br but it’s not working. I’ve changed all the NS entries in my DNS’s domain zone to nsX.wordpress.com (X = 1,2,3) but it’s still not working.

  My registrar here in Brazil is Locaweb. I don’t know if this info can help you in some way.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks,
  Daniel V.

  For certain domains, such as .com.br and other non-US domains (or ccTLDs), your registrar may require us to add a “Zone Record” on the WordPress.com servers before the name servers can be updated.

  I’ve now added a new DNS Zone record for your domain. This change may take a little while to be fully effective. Could you give it some time then try updating the name servers again?

  Well… now I’m getting a new error message:

  WordPress.com can’t register danielviveiros.com.br.

  WordPress.com can only register domains ending in “.com”, “.net”, or “.org”.

  It seems that it recognized my DNS but doesn’t support .com.br domains. Is this correct?

  Thanks!

  You won’t be able to register the domain through us.

  Instead, map it following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
