    I deleted my previous website and want to reuse my domain.

    bluehost says I need to ask WordPress to change my A record so that it’s pointing at Bluehost.

    any suggestion? This situation is driving me crazy as ai wp support says I need to solve this issue directly with Bluehost…

    please advise! Thanks

    Hi there,

    My name is Pax, I’m a Happiness Engineer with WordPress.com and I’d love to help.

    bluehost says I need to ask WordPress to change my A record so that it’s pointing at Bluehost.

    Got it, sounds good :-)

    So you’ll want to get those A records from BlueHost if you haven’t already, then you can add them in your WordPress.com Dashboard. Here’s the documentation for that.

    https://wordpress.com/support/domains/custom-dns/add-a-new-dns-record/

    In summary, you’ll go from your WordPress.com Dashboard to Upgrades ⇢ Domains, click on your domain, expand the “Manage DNS Records” section, click Manage, then click the “Add A Record” button in the upper right.

    Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with and in the meantime have a great rest of your day.
