Question about domain registration
-
If I choose to register my domain name through WordPress, and down the road I decide to move my website from WordPress to another host, do I still own the rights to my domain name or does WordPress own those rights?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You still own the domain for as long as your continue to renew it annually. in the future you can either transfer it to another registrar or you can simply point the nameservers to another site.

After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
