    Hi,
    I see Wordpress.com has a feature where you can point the DNS servers of your domain to wordpress.com and it will host the blog for you.

    I have subdomain hosting on a friend's VPS hosting and I'd like to map my domain to that subdomain, is this possible using Apache? (I can change the httpd.conf - his domains are mapped in there using <VirtualHost>

    Think it may be easier to achieve at DNS server level, using CNAME records...

    mybe this page can help: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185443

    alternatively, you could do a redirect from an address such as: http://www.friendsdomain.com/yourblog through apache with .htaccess files I think
