  Hi there,

  Are you wanting to map or transfer your domain over?

  In order to use your domain hosted elsewhere with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

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

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade as a part of a paid plan so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  You can follow the instructions below to transfer your domain from your current host over to WordPress.com:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Keep in mind that your domain will have to be registered with your current host for 60 days before you are able to transfer it.

  Hope that helps.

  Thanks!

  Hi! Are you trying to add a domain to your account, like this?
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  First, choose a plan here:
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  Next choose to map the domain: https://wordpress.com/domains

  Then point your domain to these name servers:
  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  If you need to add other DNS settings before you do that, you can:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/custom-dns/

  Does that help? If not, send more details and we’ll go from there.
