  Hi, I was wondering how I updated my CName Address. I’m switching my wordpress account to blogger and I want to keep my custom domain name. (iamchrishonda.com)

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

  If you registered the domain through WordPress.com, then you can update name servers, but you cannot update CNAME records at this time.

  What is your end goal exactly? Will Blogger work if you update the Name Servers, or do they require that you use a CNAME record?

  I need a cname record so that I can use my domain name through them. It’s okay though. How would I go about terminating my whole domain? Like my domain name? (iamchrishonda.com)

  Information on how to cancel domain is here:

  I think what you want is the first or third option, “Cancel Domain” / “Transfer a to Another Registrar”.

  Note that you definitely shouldn’t cancel the domain if you want to use it somewhere else. Make sure to transfer it (not cancel).
