We just need the domain itself to enter a zone record in the system.

Once a zone record exists in our system, they're mapped just like any normal domain.

I will flag this for staff attention based on the theory that you will post the domain name you need the zone record added for.

Ive recently purchased a .co.za domain ( im in South Africa) through a site called Host Cow.
The original intention was to map the domain to my WordPress blog, and in order to do this the WordPress step-by-step guide to mapping a domain said the DNS settings on the registrars system needs to be changed to the DNS settings prescribed by WordPress.

During the purchase of the domain i was given an option to change the DNS settings so i changed it according to the recommended DNS settings on the WordPress site.

However, when i try to map my .co.za domain to WordPress blog it comes back with a message saying it cant map .co.za ???

I spoke to my domain registrar ( Host Cow) and they suggesed that i get in contact with WordPress and ask them to create a reference for my domain on their servers....apparently once this is done they will be able to recognise my .co.za?

How do i get in contact with someone at WordPress for them to create this domain reference on their servers???

Please Help!
