  Hi there,

  Okay, I see that you have a WordPress.com site hosted here with rinseresearch.com connected to the site, yet that domain’s nameservers is still pointing over to Namecheap where it is currently hosted.

  In order to use your domain hosted elsewhere with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at Namecheap, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  You can follow the instructions on Namecheap’s support page (the 2nd option):

  https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9837/46/how-to-connect-a-domain-to-a-server-or-hosting/

  Here are the instructions on our support page as well:

  Please take a look at those instructions and let us know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
