  You can register that domain (.wales) with another company/register agent and map it.

  That’s what I’ve tried but an error message appeared saying sorry but the .wales domain cannot be registered on WordPress.com. So that’s why I was wondering if wordpress will eventually support this domain because it’s a relatively new domain address.

  I said:

  You need
  a) to register the domain with another company/register agent

  b) then, map it to WordPress.com

  My question is:
  Do you have registered the domain with another company?

  If the answer is YES, what is the complete domain? (http://….)

  Yes I have registered a domain, it is http://m4j28improvements.wales/

  I’ve also updated the DNS addresses but still not having any luck.

  No Domain Mapping Found
  There is no domain mapping upgrade for m4j28improvements.wales. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.

  You need to buy the domain mapping upgrade and change the “nameservers”:

  Hi @jadeemanuel,

  I went ahead and manually added the domain to your account. You should see it here:

  https://testpagej28.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Can you confirm the domain is now working correctly for you? I also sent a manual payment request to your email address for the cost of the domain mapping. Let me know if you do not receive it!

  Thank you very much :-) I can confirm the domain is working and I have received the link for the payment which I will proceed with.

  Thanks again for all your help.
