  Hi,

  I recently got a domain registered through Zoho. I also have email service with them. I want to host and build the site through WordPress.
  I went through WordPress.com support. In the link https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/ , it says

  “Change Your Domain’s Name Servers

  Name servers tell the domain where to point to. These must be changed with the company you purchased your domain from in order for the domain to load your WordPress.com site. You have two options for getting your name servers updated to point to your WordPress.com site.

  Option 1: Update Name Servers Yourself
  You can log into your account at your domain registrar and replace any existing name servers with these three domain name server (DNS) addresses:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com
  Remember to remove your old name servers when you add the WordPress.com name servers.“

  What will happen to email service setup through Zoho? Will I continue to receive emails on Zohomail if I change the servers?

  Thanks

  If you don’t touch your domain MX or CNAME records, you should be fine. You might want to check with Zoho first to confirm that on their end.

  For WordPress.com, you only need to set NS records to point to us.

  I hope that helps!
