  I submitted for upgrade to have my website show as PeterAlongi.com not peteralongi.wordpress.com. I do not see anything in my billing so I tried again and it states domain already registered. I did something wrong just not sure what.

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

  I’m seeing PeterAlongi.com as being registered already:

  https://who.is/whois/peteralongi.com

  So you would not be able to register it through WordPress.com.

  If you are the one who has registered the domain at another registrar, you will need to set up Domain Mapping to use your domain with your WordPress.com site:

  Domain Mapping is included with all of the WordPress.com Plans:
