  Hi,

  There is a domain I can see available on VidaHost, but is not available for purchase on WordPress. Can anyone advise why? or how I could get the domain on to WordPress?

  Thank you!
  Emma

  Hi Emma,

  Can you please tell me what the domain is? Then I’d be happy to investigate this further.

  Hi Kokkieh,

  The domain I am looking to purchase is ’emmaleena.co.uk’

  Thank you!

  Okay, we are not a registrar for .co.uk domains. In other words, we don’t have permission to sell those domains.

  You will need to buy that domain at a registrar that is allowed to sell it, and then you can link it to your site here using the domain mapping upgrade instead: Use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping)
