  I want to map my domain name (swervestudentministries.com), that is registered through wordpress, to a squarespace site, but ran into some trouble and seem to have broken the site. I’m stuck and cannot figure out how to fix. Please help!

  Thanks!

  You can set your A records to point to Squarespace following the instructions here:

  Point a Domain to an External IP Address

  Once you’ve changed your A Records, you’ll probably need to do step 3 here in your new Squarespace account:

  And then it can take a couple of hours for DNS settings to take full effect.

  Let me know if you get stuck going through these directions, and I can help you out!

  Please note, your domain will still be registered with WordPress.com although it will be pointed elsewhere. In order for the domain to work correctly, you will need to renew the domain registration each year or set it to renew automatically. You can manage renewal options through your Upgrades link here:

  Thank you! It appears I have it working properly now. I somehow entered the wrong Nameserver changes. Thanks for the help!
