Domain Masking

  • mattglass9 · Member ·

    As it was not an option when I forwarded my domain name (using my hosting service from GoDaddy), how do I ensure my that my domain name forwarding was also masked?

    For example,I forwarded my GoDaddy domain name of thelastwordtoday.com to thelastwordtoday.wordpress.com, but want the visitor of the site to always/only see thelastwordtoday.com?

    Thank you!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    WordPress.com does not support domain forwarding and masking. It will eventually fail so I don’t recommend this at all.

    You have to register a plan and purchase a domain mapping upgrade http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ that is annually renewable.

    You require and underlying .wordpress.com site to domain map from to your domain URL. WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. See: Map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog – if you already have a domain that you registered and purchased elsewhere.
