  I would really appreciate your help with this. I tried editing my wordpress.com custom URL so it’ll point to Cargo Collective by changing my name servers to NS11.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
  NS12.DOMAINCONTROL.COM, then changing the zone file so it pointed to Cargo’s IP address. Also, back in My Domains/Custom DNS records, I added “A www 173.203.204.123
  A yourdomain.com 173.203.204.123″ to what was there. However, at Cargo, I get an error message saying my DNS is pointed to Cargo correctly, but I need to remove multiple A records associated with the name. But there aren’t any other A records I can see besides the Cargo ones. The six IP addresses(192.0.81.250, 66.155.9.238, 66.155.11.238, 76.74.254.123, 76.74.255.123, 192.0.80.250) Cargo is flagging seem to be from Sprint and Google, if that helps.

  I do have google mail set up for this URL.

  Could you please help me with this?

  You simply need to update the name servers or A records in your Domain Administration area to point to your new hosting. Which you need to use is dependent on what your hosting provider requires.

  We provide instructions here:

  If you also need to associate your domain with an email host, you will need to set that up with your new hosting provider, not with us.
