I have been fighting with support for 4 days. Let me tell you the story.
I registered for a wordpress.com blog at mennnieitconsulting.wordpress.com. However I misspelled my blog address. I didn't notice this until I purchased a domain from wordpress, and paid for a premium account.

So to help fix my mistake I cancelled my premium subscription and cancelled the domain name. I then recreated the blog and paid for a new subscription for it. This time using the correct spelling of two n's in the first word of the blog address, so corrected it was: mennieitconsulting.wordpress.com. I registered a domain using this same blog for the correct spelling at: mennieitconsulting.com.

Everything was fine until the next day I received an email saying my domain had been cancelled. I thought great I have confirmation that my mennnieitconsulting.com domain was cancelled.

I find later that same day that support had removed my mennieitconsulting.com domain from my account. I preceded to add it back to my account. When I did this the DNS does not update to NS1.wordpress.com and NS2.wordpress.com like it did when I first purchased it! I have been talking to support for three days, they seem oblivious to the issue at hand and are no help AT ALL!

If someone sees this in support please fix my issue - I see no reason to have to wait for 4 days to get my domain DNS redirected to NS1.wordpress.com and NS2.wordpress.com, as it was done originally in less than 3 hours.

I already did search the forum and even support section but couldn't find any reasonable answers, it may be my fault but it is probably because there is too much irrelevant information to search through as well, I've already wasted more than an hour at it.

But I thank you for your response!

You need to buy a prepaid credit card from a country which IS approved and use that.

I've been on wordpress.com for more than 3 years now and finally decided to take the plunge of owning my own domain with wordpress.

But on the buying page it seems the list of countries does not include Pakistan! :( further more I surely can't use the PayPal method since Paypal isn't available in Pakistan either.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks !

You may also consider that we Volunteers aren't paid to take any verbal abuse from anyone posting here at all. If you do want to get the domain your allowed to expire domain out of redemption than I suggest you become polite very quickly.

Before it expired, we sent email warnings and displayed notifications on your dashboard.

Domain expiration is a lengthy and complicated process that takes about 80 days. During this time, your domain may be put up for auction or sold on back-order. You can learn more about expired domains here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/

The good news is that we may still be able to recover your domain if it has not yet been deleted or purchased by someone else. A late renewal fee of $80 will be added to the regular price of renewal. This fee is charged by the domain registry and is not one which we can waive.

I'll send further details to the email address on your account.

According to WHOIS.com, the domain expired in March of 2013 and has not been renewed. A staff member will need to take a look at your account to see what happened. It's possible it is renewed, but the change hasn't propagated across the internet yet.

"Your nameservers need to be set to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM and NS2.WORDPRESS.COM for these DNS records to work. If you have already updated the nameservers you can ignore this message; it will stop appearing soon."

I am trying to get to the domain administration page to fix the name servers but I can't find it. I click on domains under store and then i'm stuck on adding a domain or updating.

When i first purchased the redirect everything was working great for about a month. It's only recently that I noticed that it's not working.

The guide also lists ns3.wordpress.com. Is that required for the Domain addon to recognize that the domain is pointed to wordpress.com?
