  Trying to transfer a domain from Godaddy and start my blog. It shows on WordPress account as ‘erikbergeruddotcom.’ No idea how that happened. The domain I transferred is erikbergerud.com

  Hi there,
  I’ve just tried accessing “erikbergerud.com” and it redirects me to “https://erikbergerud.wordpress.com/”, so this seems to be fine.
  If you want “erikbergerud.com” to be your primary domain, you can change it by going to https://wordpress.com/my-domains, select your blog with your domain and click “update primary domain”

  @erikbergerud
  Are you trying to set up domain mapping?

  Although erikbergerud.com has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. If your domain is mapped to a self-hosted site, then your configuration may be fine as currently set up. If you wish to host your site at WordPress.com, you will need to update your nameservers as outlined below.

  We require that your name server configuration include only the following servers or their numeric equivalents:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Your name servers are as follows:

  NS09.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
  NS10.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

  If you have access to change the nameservers for this domain, please remove all nameservers not on the required list above.

  To learn about how to correctly map an existing domain, please see our documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-mapping-an-existing-domain If you’re not sure whether you own this domain or not, the WHOIS database record may help you out. http://www.whois.net/whois/erikbergerud.com

  if you are trying to set up domain mapping, it can take as long as 72 hours for DNS changes to become widely available. If you’re still not seeing your site loading at erikbergerud.com, please wait a few more hours, clear your browser cache http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookies, and try again.

  It looks like your domain is not pointing to WordPress.com name servers yet:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-helper/?host=erikbergerud.com

  Please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:
