  I bought a domain name http://www.suedowning.net and mapped it to WordPress, so why is my page address showing up as suedowning.wordpress.com? Is there a way to have my .net domain as my website address? Thanks!

  Hi there,

  You have that domain mapped to your WordPress.com site, suedowning.wordpress.com, but at the moment the domain is still pointing to GoDaddy, where it’s registered, instead of to us.

  Log into your account at GoDaddy, and update the domain’s name servers to point to us:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  A few hours after doing that, the domain should start showing your WordPress.com site.
