Hey,
I recently started my blog at:
metalthrashingmad.wordpress.com
and purchased the domain
metalthrashingmad.co.uk
through 123-reg.co.uk with a view to linking to my wordpress.
On changing the nameservers to those required for wordpress, the metalthrashingmad domain appeared in my menu.
On selecting the metalthrashingmad.co.uk domain, however, i found both that domain and my original .wordpress domain redirecting to the 123 reg default holding page. This problem has been persistent for a while.
Although there is a redirect function with 123 reg, selecting the .wordpress site as the redirect site and selecting the .co.uk site as my main domain in wordpress seems to create a loop with a variety of browsers showing either a blank page or a domain loop message.
I realise that i can choose the .wordpress site as my main site on wordpress and directly redirect to the .wordpress site through 123reg but I'd rather be able to use the wordpress domain control I've paid for.
Many thanks to anyone who can help.
