Domain name not updating
-
I’m on the free trial for the $99 premium plan and I want to use the domain name “everfittraining.com”
Currently under “my upgrades/domains” it says that my primary domain is everfittraining.com and that it renews on August 5th… but when i actually type that address into the URL bar it takes me to the godaddy site so i can buy it! THEN when i try to buy it, it’s saying it’s unavailable (although I checked just two days ago and the domain name was available!!) And if it was unavailable, wouldn’t I NOT be able to use it for my primary domain, as seen on my upgrades/domain page?So I want to know – do I actually temporarily own everfittraining.com as per my free trial, and then I’ll just pay for it when the trial is up? Because I want to just pay for everything NOW so I can secure this domain name officially (it’s my business, and I want to get the business cards and flyers ready)
I really don’t think that the domain name is taken because I literally just checked it two days ago and it was available.
How can I just get this domain name now? I’ll end the free trial early to pay for it now, I don’t care.
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
It looks like the domain everfittraining.com was registered through GoDaddy on December 2008, and has name servers currently pointing to GoDaddy as well:
http://who.is/whois/everfittraining.com
If you did not register that domain back in 2008, you will not be able to use this domain as someone else owns it. Setting up domain mapping for the domain here on WordPress.com will not be sufficient to use the domain on your site.
I would recommend you register a different domain (there are several different versions available, including a .net version) and use that for your WordPress.com site.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
