  Hi,

  I started in 2006 on WP.com at 0xcafe.wordpress.com and eventually made it to my own host. I had my traffic from WP.com redirected to my hosted solution with the domain addon.

  After the year was out, I was not alerted and now it got removed so traffic hitting 0xcafe.wordpress.com is still seeing the very old version of my WP.com hosted blog.

  How to get the traffic to my new blog again?

  Thanks!
  Alexandre

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You’ll have to buy the domain upgrade again and apply it.

  Unless you renew every year the default will be back to the root blog at the wordpress.COM URL. In other words, when we purchase domain mapping we are purchasing a 302 (temporary) redirect to our domain. It’s “temporary” because we must renew by paying annually.

  But it asks me to redirect my NDS to wordpress’! I don’t want to redirect my blog’s traffic here, is there a way to do it without changing the DNS?

  I don’t know and unless another members does and posts then I guess you will have to ask Staff http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
