  I have a free WordPress.com blog. I’ve signed up with a different host, in order to have my own domain, a co.za domain. I’ve been asked to get the DNS settings, in order for them to move my blog over to the new host. However, I do not know anything about this, and after checking on the Domains page, I still don’t see anything. Would you please advise?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  In order to use your domain hosted elsewhere with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
