    when the name was added to the webpage is reflected dotcom instead of .com

    So did the administrator carry it over incorrectly on the webpage?

    There is no domain mapping upgrade for pacificoakrealestate.com/. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.There is information on how to set up domain mapping in our support documentation.

    re: mapping an existing domain
    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#transferring-a-domain-to-wordpress-com but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
