  I bought a domain and WordPress has told me I have to wait 60 days to use it because it’s new. I purchased from GoDaddy a “.com”, so what can I do?

  Hi there,

  If you want to use a newly registered domain (less than 60 days old) on WordPress.com, you can map it. Here’s how that works:

  After the 60 day lock (that’s imposed by the ICANN, and not by us or by GoDaddy) you’ll be able to transfer your domain here:

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
