Why won't domain mapping work?

  Hello,

  I purchased the domain upgrade to redirect my blog from its current address to BigRedFlags.com. I updated the nameservers as directed (my domain is through Yahoo Small Business) and when I enter BigRedFlags.com, I got an Open DNS error message saying that all three nameservers have failed. The redirect obviously is not working and I have had to disable it.

  Please help!

  Does entering a www with the BigRedFlags URL in the “Domains” section of the dashboard mess with the redirect? That’s the only thing I can think of …

  There seems to be quite a bit wrong with your domain, and I recommend contacting your registrar.

  1. The nameservers appear to be two completely different sets of two each.

  2. The domain itself is still forwarded to your WordPress.com blog via your registrar.
