 * Hi,
 * I used to have a wordpress.com blog which had domain mapping on it to make it
   point to [http://www.kentfamilysolicitor.com](http://www.kentfamilysolicitor.com)
 * Yesterday I
    1) Cancelled the domain mapping feature on my wordpress.com account
   2) Created a wordpress.org account hosted by bluehost 3) Transferred my content
   from wordpress.com to wordpress.org
 * The site was working fine.
 * Today, when I go to my domain as a visitor I get a HTTP 500 Internal Server error
   message.
 * Also, when I try to login to my wordpress.org account backend I get the message:
   Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please login and go
   to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain. It also removes
   the www. as if it is still trying to go to my wordpress.com account.
 * How do I solve this problem?
 * Please help!

 * The nameservers on your domain are still pointing to WordPress.com’s nameservers:
 * [http://whois.domaintools.com/kentfamilysolicitor.com](http://whois.domaintools.com/kentfamilysolicitor.com)
 * You’ll need to point them to Bluehost by following this guide:

 * You’re welcome!
 * Keep in mind that it can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less) for the
   change to propagate to your ISP. It all depends on how often your ISP refreshes
   their DNS cache.
