  Hi! We just mapped a url that we own (right-think.com), and it is showing up as rightthinkcom.wordpress.com. How do we get the correct url?

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

  Hi rightthinkforever,

  According to the whois information right-think.com is not pointing to the WordPress servers which are
  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  If you followed all the instruction from the support documentation below
  <a href=”https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-
  domain/”>https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
  then it could take up to 3 hours to fully update.

  If it has been over a few hours then perhaps you should add “modlook” to the tags and have a staff member look into it further.

  Hope this helps!

  First, you should be aware of the differences between a WordPress.com and a WordPress.org setup. This page explains more:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I noticed http://right-think.com/ is currently showing a default placeholder page from an outside host.

  Before we can give the right advice here, we need to know if you are planning to use WordPress.com or setup a self-hosted WordPress.org site at the Site5 web host.
