  Hello

  I have mapped my domain name “TechStylist.co.uk” to the following WordPress site: techstylistlondon.wordpress.com

  However, although the original WordPress URL now appears to revert to the “TechStylist.co.uk” domain, the original “123 Reg” holding site still shows up on the screen.

  Why is this happening? Am I doing something wrong?

  Thanks, Em

  Hi Em!

  It looks like the name servers for the domain still need to be pointed to WordPress.com as described here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#how-to-change-your-name-servers

  Specific instructions for 123 Reg can be found here:

  https://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/answers/how-do-i-change-the-nameservers-for-my-domain-name-1206/

  Can you give that a try?

  Thanks Jeremey,

  I’ve followed the instructions and replaced the Reg 123 names servers in the fields ‘Nameserver 1’ and ‘Nameserver 2’ with what I think is my WordPress name server i.e. Techstylistlondon.wordpress.com but an error is displayed: “Error setting nameservers”.

  Would this be the correct Word press name server?

  Thanks, Em

  Hi Em!

  It looks like your name servers are set correctly, and your domain is now loading. Can you try clearing your cache and see if this loads correctly for you? Cache instructions are here:
