I can't find the name servers to update on my registrar's site!

    I am trying to use a domain I bought through Google, seanpatricktellsjokes.co.uk, as the web address for my WordPress site.

    I have followed the steps as far as I can and am now being told to change name servers on the registrar’s site.

    I have gone to this site, but can’t see what I’m meant to be changing where! When I click on “advanced DNS settings”, no name server seems to be present; when I click on “change naked domain”, that seems to be saying I can change the web address itself, not the underlying servers.

    Am I being obtuse?

    Google Domains has instructions on how to set custom name servers here. I don’t think it should be hidden behind Advanced DNS, but it will be within DNS settings:

    https://support.google.com/domains/answer/3290309?hl=en

    Once you’re in that section, add these three name servers, each one as its own record:

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

    And you’re correct, the naked domain settings are a different subject. :)
