    Hello,

    I am trying to map a domain name I already own through Wix. There is no option to type in a new NS. Is this necessary to have the map be successful?

    Thank you

    Hi there,

    Our suggested route is to map your domain (by adding it via the Store > My Domains page on your site’s dashboard), add the MX records currently on your site to our Store > My Domains > Edit DNS, and then change your nameservers to WordPress.com.

    Are you looking to map your site via A records (IP addresses)? We don’t have a single IP address for your site since we have your site on a number of geographically-diverse servers to improve speed and uptime.

    Since we change out the IPs we use based on when different datacenters/server go online, we don’t suggest using IP addresses.

    However, if you still want to go ahead and map your domain using A records, please be sure to create at least two, pointing to the two IPs from the list below.

    I am brand new to wordpress and to website building in general. When I went to Edit DNS, there was already a nameserver labeled “MX” that said “wordpress.com.” Per the message at the top of the screen that said I needed to change my nameserves to ns1.wordpress.com and ns2.wordpress.com, I deleted the one on there and added two “MX,” one with ns1.wordpress.com and one with ns2.wordpress.com.

    I am not confident that changed anything. When I type my domain name into the url bar, it comes up with a page saying that this domain is owned by Wix and currently has not applied to a page.

    I have almost zero knowledge when it comes to this sort of thing so any layman’s terms that can be used are much appreciated. My goal is to connect my wix owned domain name to my wordpress page.

    Hi there,

    If you want to map the domain to your WordPress.com site you will need to update your nameservers via your domain registrar. I looked up your domain and it’s registered with Network Solutions as seen here:

    https://who.wildwestdomains.com/whoisstd.aspx?domain=bubcomedy.com&prog_id=wildwestdomains

    Please contact them to update your nameservers to:

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