  I am working on starting my own home server and I realized that I need to add an A Record to my domain densytics.com that I bought through WordPress.com for my blog. I tried to do it through GoDaddy’s Total DNS Service http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/680/managing-dns-for-your-domain-names but in order to use it the domain needs to be registered with them. GoDaddy site says that “if your domain is using third-party nameservers, you must contact that third party to update your DNS.”

  Where can I find more information about how to add A Record for my domain purchased through WordPress.com?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  In this post http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/ it is explained that “you cannot add an A record for a root level domain such as mydomain.com through the WordPress.com Custom DNS editor. You must use another DNS hosting provider if you want to do that.”

  What does this mean?
