  Hi, I’m trying to map a domain already owned by my client to the site I’ve set up for them.

  Their host is gandi.net and the domain is theampvancouver.ca

  I read in another forum post that anything other than a .com, .net, or .org requires a Zone Record added on your end.

  I would also prefer to keep the email hosting on my domain host, but have set up email forwarding via WordPress in the meantime since it was disabled once I mapped the domain as primary.

  If you can expedite this process it would be greatly appreciated!

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

  The post signature is incorrect – this is for a client’s site, so the blog/site I need help with is actually:

  theampsandbox.wordpress.com

  And in case you’re able to edit so that the Email will work through the primary web host, here are the details from gandi.net’s side:

  MX 10 spool.mail.gandi.net.
  MX 50 fb.mail.gandi.net
  CNAME imap access.mail.gandi.net.
  CNAME smtp relay.mail.gandi.net.
  CNAME webmail agent.mail.gandi.net.
  CNAME pop access.mail.gandi.net.

  I tried editing these myself in the DNS settings via WordPress.com domain mapping page, but I couldn’t input the CNAME lines since the input fields for CNAME via WordPress don’t clearly relates to the lines above (since I’m not a techie!)

  Thanks!
