I've gone ahead and added a zone file for the domain peterarnoldhartpages.com. In regards to you being asked regularly to re-log in, that is frequently a problem with third party cookies not being enabled on your browser. You can check right here to see if that's the problem and how to fix it:

I bought my domain name through wordpress.com,

but now I want to host my wordpress in a private server, so I installed wordpress script there (wordpress.org).

I went to my domain settings and set nameservers to my private hosting.
After an hour or so, it was working great, my domain was pointing to my server, however suddently it's pointing to the wordpress.com blog I originally started.

Nameservers still show my hosting, if I update the nameservers again, it works again.. but then after an hour or so, it goes back to wordpress.com again.

How to fix this?

I want to use my domain in my private hosting.

Please help
