  Hi – I’m trying to point my wordpress blog to my 123-reg domain (& keep the email working). If I change the nameserver, the email does not work & I think I need to add the CNAME & A Names into the 123-reg advanced DNS settings.

  How/where do I find what these are on my wordpress? (I’ve bought the wordpress site redirect updagrade).

  HELP!! (please!)

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

  Although mrsbee.co.uk has been registered, it is not using WordPress.com nameservers. You repoint the nameservers where you purchased the domain ie. at 1-2-3 not here.

  Hi – If I change the nameservers I loose the email (that I bought with the domain).

  Thanks for tagging for staff follow-up.
