  Hi, I have a custom domain (blahblah.co.uk) and the nameservers in 123 point to wordpress, however when I log in I can’t find anywhere to get the info from them to update the settings. So I’m sort of stuck with the DNS records I have. Appreciate that the custom domain option I had was a paid upgrade 10 years ago and I didnt renew. Would adding a personal plan back in give me access to those DNS settings again? I’m loathe to move them as I set it up to use outlook.com back in the day when you could (about 12 years ago)

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  Since that domain is registered through 123 Reg, its name servers can only be changed through 123 Reg’s Control Panel. You can find detailed instructions in this guide:

  https://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/domains/how-do-i-change-the-nameservers-for-my-domain-name/

  We’re WordPress.com, a different registrar and hosting provider. You used to host your site with us a few years back, and that’s why the name servers still point to us. Once you change them, you’ll be able to point the domain to your current host.
