  Hi monikambarrera,

  There is a two week waiting period after domain mapping has been removed from one account before the same domain can be mapped to another WordPress.com account. Is this what you would like to do?

  Or do you want to add domain mapping for whatbooktoreadnext.com back to a site owned by your account?

  No I don’t want to have any wordpress account, I just want my own domain, yes I already did the mapping with the new host provider and everything was fine couple of hours ago, my blog was live with the new mapping, but now looks like you are holding my domain for some reason, please could you free up my domain?

  Hi again, I just removed my blog site from wordpress just to make sure that I dont wish to carry on using wordpress for the time being and since I own the domain I would like you to make it free as soon as possible, it looked like was already free up couple of hours ago because I saw my blog live with the new hosting provider. As you might understand this quite urgent for me since my blog looks like is down at the moment with that message:
  “Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain. ”
  Many Thanks
  -Monika

  Hi monikambarrera,

  but now looks like you are holding my domain for some reason

  Visiting whatbooktoreadnext.com takes me to a site hosted by GoDaddy (I’m not seeing a domain mapping error). It sounds like your browser may have cached the name servers for WordPress.com so please try clearing your browser cache:

  Solve Common Browser Issues

  That should help flush out any old settings stored in your browser. Also, name server changes can take up to 48 hours to fully update so that could also explain why you are still be directed to WordPress.com if they were recently changed.

  Let me know if that does the trick.
