  • Hi there, it looks like the domain hermannewt.com is already registered and isn’t pointing to WordPress.com.

    This is the current domain registrant information:

    Registrant:
    (email visible only to moderators and staff)
    THIS DOMAIN IS FOR SALE
    HugeDomains.com
    2635 Walnut Street
    Denver, CO 80205
    US
    +1.303.502.9124

    Registrar: DomainHood.com (http://www.domainhood.com)

    Domain Name: HermanNewt.com
    Creation Date: 2/11/2012
    Expiration Date: 2/11/2014
    Last Updated Date: 2/12/2013
    Domain Locked: True

    It looks like you mapped hermannewt.com yesterday but didn’t register it, since it’s already registered elsewhere. You can only map a domain that you own.

    I’ve removed the mapping upgrade so you can purchase a different domain, or map a domain that you already own.

    Just let me know if you need further help.

    i own that domain. i paid for it. why did wordpress sell it?

  • Hi there – WordPress.com did not sell your domain – it wasn’t registered through WordPress.com. If you let the domain expire, it’s possible it was then purchased by someone else.

    On July 31, you added domain mapping for hermannewt.com, but didn’t actually register the domain on WordPress.com. In order for a domain to be mapped to a WordPress.com site, you need to actually own the domain, whether you register it through WordPress.com or another registrar.

    I’ve removed the mapping for this domain so you can now map or register another domain through your WordPress.com Premium bundle at no extra charge.

    Just let me know if you need further help.
