Thanks for the response. Yes, I am trying to cancel (or un-do) my domain mapping upgrade. I've written to the support@wordpress.com email with details.

Will they change the nameserver back to what it was before, or will my new hosting provide have to do that?

Thanks a ton.

If I understand correctly, you want to cancel your domain mapping upgrade?
Please contact staff directly about this at support@wordpress.com

You will need to change the nameserver information for your .in domain name back to what it was before. If you need assistance, contact your new hosting provider.

I have NOT purchased my domain (www.shootinginthedark.in) via wordpress.com...it was already purchased and hosted on a third-party hosting provider.

I got my hosting provider to change the DNS name servers to point to wordpress.com. I made the mistake of mapping the domain to my wordpress.com blog (at this point of time, I didn't realize that I actually wanted to install wordpress on my own domain & hosting servers).

Question is -- How do I now undo this mistake? How can I move my blog / domain back to my own third-party hosting provider? What settings do I need to change for this & where?

The only similar topic I've found in the support FAQs so far is -- related to transferring domains & hosting providers, but for those domains which were purchased via wordpress.com. Mine is not one of those. Hence, I'm not able to get the "Domain Management" link on my "Store --> Domains" on my Dashboard.

Would appreciate any help on this asap.

Thanks,
Param
PS: If it helps to provide additional context....why I need to host my blog on my own hosting servers is because ultimately, I want to install a custom theme (purchased via third-party wordpress themes...NOT the wordpress.com "premium themes"). For that, I need to be running wordpress on a self-hosted domain.
