  I would like to map my own domain name zecussc.hk to zecussc.wordpress.com. However, my email service is hosting to a service provider with this domain name zecussc.hk. It is impossible to migrate my domain name hosting to wordpress.com.

  I have read this post:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-subdomain/

  It seems to work if I can update the CNAME record with subdomain through my service provider blog.zecussc.hk. IN CNAME zecussc.wordpress.com. Afterwards, I go to Domain page from wordpress.com to map blog.zecussc.hk this link.

  If it works, can I ask my service provider to update the CNAME record with zecussc.hk. IN CNAME zecussc.wordpress.com. to achieve the same result?

  Million thanks to any help and reply.
