My domain is registered through Word Press, but I transferred hosting to GoDaddy last week. However, the site is parked, and has been that way for nearly a week. It says “courtesy of Word Press.” I have gone in and verified that I put in the correct GoDaddy nameservers and IP address, but still I have the same problem. Please help.

Hi there!

Because of the way our domains are registered, we have some specific directions for setting up GoDaddy domains:

Can you make sure your domain is set up that way?

Yes. I set it up that way as soon as you responded yesterday. How long before my site is functioning again? Thanks!

Great! DNS changes can take a little while to fully propagate. I just took a look, and it seems like our directions are skipping an important step where you need to have WordPress.com name servers. I’ll edit the page to include that.

I just made that change for you so the domain should start working soon. Let me know if it doesn’t start working by Monday.
