  Hello! 👋🏼

  I purchased my domain through wordpress – who is the “host”? godaddy?

  @themagicrobot is correct — your domain is configured to show your site hosted on WordPress.com.

  This is determined by the DNS records for any domain. To learn more about managing the DNS records, please refer to this guide:

  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

  ⚠️ We advise against editing these randomly or unless instructed by some service provider, as it can result in your domain not working properly or your site being unavailable to visitors.

  I hope this helps 😊
