  My domain host can’t change my domain name server. A criteria to change nameservers for .NO domain is that there needs to be active zonefiles on them. My host tried to change now and got a message stating that there were no zonefile resolving for the domain on the WordPress servers.

  How can I activate the zonefile on the WordPress server?

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

  Hi there,

  The only way to map your domain to your WordPress blog is by changing the domain name servers to the following:

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

  So, your domain host will need to change the name servers for this to work. However, you can add a DNS zone record following the steps here:

  Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

  Best,

  Jeremey

  Hi and thank you for your answer. I tried to do as you said but when I try to add DNS Zone, this is the message I get:

  “You did not specify a valid domain name.”

  I’ve been able to add the DNS zone to your domain as shown by the screenshot here:

  Can you try to change your name servers again?
