  Hi,

  I recently bought hosting and domain for my new site on wordpress, but I already have a domain name that I would like to use.
  Can I get DNS names for my site with wordpress to point my other domain name to without the need to map the name?

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

  Hi there,

  Do you mean you want to use a different domain than lahori2go.com which you purchased from us?

  To connect a domain you own somewhere else to your WordPress.com site you will need the domain mapping upgrade. If you don’t want lahori2go.com any more, please confirm and I can cancel it. Then you can use the free domain in your plan to map your existing domain instead.

  Or, if you want to keep lahori2go.com, then you can buy an additional domain mapping upgrade in addition to the domain you already have in your plan.

  You can find all the information on domain mapping, including the name servers you need to use, here:

  Yes, please cancel the domain, as I would like to map the domain name I already have.
  Does this still need paying the mapping fee?

  I’ve cancelled the domain and restored the free domain credit in your plan, so you’ll be able to add the domain mapping without paying again.
