  DNS records are special settings that change how your domain works. They control what people see when they visit your domain and allow you to connect your domain to third-party services such as an email provider. This guide will show you how to add, remove, and change your domain’s DNS records. Reasons for Editing DNS RecordsViewing your DNS recordsAdding Custom DNS RecordsTerminology Used

  In this case, I suggest using any 3rd-party DNS provider, such as Cloudflare.

  You will be able to use long TXT records with them and still use your domain with your WordPress.com site 😊

  Here are some resources for this purpose:

  • Cloudflare guide for using your domain with :

  • Domain Connection via the “A” DNS records (needed because you’ll be using the Name Servers with Cloudflare or any other DNS provider):

  I hope this helps! 🤞
