  Hi Kwong. What exactly are you trying to do? Point an existing __.wordpress.com blog to a site hosted outside of WordPress.com? Or you want to replace your __.wordpress.com address with your own domain name?

  It is impossible to use a wordpress.com domain for any website except a wordpress.com site. WordPress.com is not a domain host; it is a blogging platform provider.

  Technically, it is possible to buy a domain name through Automattic (WordPress.com) and change the nameservers so that they point to a website hosted elsewhere.

  That is only if the OP is talking about a top-level domain (.com,.net, etc.) bought through Automattic.

  I think the OP is trying to get example.wordpress.com to forward to example.wix.com.

  Hi airdoyssey & rglee98,

  Yes, like you say, i will like to point an existing __.wordpress.com blog to a site hosted outside of WordPress.com which is wix.com. Is it possible? I have a wordpress site with wordpress domain which is http://www.its1998.com. So now i want to use the wordpress domain and connect to wix.com. Since Wix.com don’t sell domain, so i hope wordpress domain can connect to there. Any idea? This is the site for domain connecting or pointing of wix.com : http://support.wix.com/index.php/Domain_Management_Help

  Hope you all get what i mean, &hope to hear from u all soon. Thanks.

  Kwong.
