    Howdy!

    I found another forum question from you asking the same thing here, so I’ve locked that one and am answering in this one. :)

    Actually, all you need to point your domain over to your WordPress.com blog are the name servers. We do have some instructions on how to change the name servers with some popular hosting providers here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/#how-to-change-your-name-servers

    If your registrar isn’t listed there, visit their website or contact their support team for assistance – they shouldn’t need anything other than the name servers.

    Now, there is one other thing to consider for this part of the process – do you have and use email on your domain – for example, “(email visible only to moderators and staff)”? If so, when you change the name servers, that email will stop working. To continue using that email, you’ll need to enter new Custom DNS records on our end, once you’ve mapped your domain here.

    This is where you’ll need some additional information from your hosting provider, and we recommend you prepare the relevant information in advance, before you start the domain mapping. If you aren’t sure how to do this, please include the following paragraph when you contact your registrar:

    Additionally, can you please provide me with the complete MX and/or other DNS records I will need to enter on WordPress.com’s end, so that my email on this domain will continue to function after my name servers have been updated?

    We can help you correctly format and enter the records they give you on our end or you can create the MX records yourself via the Custom DNS interface.

    Please let us know if we can help you with anything else!

    Take care,
    Ursula
