Domain and DNS problems

  • kathrynwp · Staff ·

    There is definitely some confusion here, let’s try to figure this out.

    How come I no longer use WordPress.com to build my site? Why is that?

    Earlier, you said you were provided with these name servers:

    baribal.dima.hu
    jeges.dima.hu

    The moment you added those name servers to your domain, you pointed your domain away from WordPress.com.

    Where did you get those name servers? Did you sign up for hosting somewhere else?

    If you intend to build your site here on WordPress.com, just switch your name servers back to those provided by WordPress.com:

    ns1.wordpress.com
    ns2.wordpress.com
    ns3.wordpress.com

    When you that, your domain will be mapped back to your WordPress.com site.

    Dear Kathryn,
    Yes I did signed up for hosting elsewhere because I thought there is no hosting service provided by wp along with the domain name.
    I just wanted to upload my custom theme, so I thought I needed a hosting service. If I change back the nameservers will be there hosting also at wp?

    WordPress.com hosts your site for free.

    There is no ability to upload themes here, though.

    There are two different types of WordPress sites. On WordPress.com, we provide hosting and over 200 themes to choose from. With a self-hosted WordPress site, you need your own hosting but you can upload your own themes and plugins.

    You can learn more here about the differences between the two types of WordPress sites and decide which avenue better suits your needs: WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
