  Hi,

  I have my own domain name and nameservers provided by my cloud e-mail provider, I would like to use WordPress.com domain migration for hosting my personal site / blog. Is it possible for me to do this without requiring to re-map my nameservers such as adding an A record to my existing nameservers?

  Cheers

  Trizzo

  I don’t think you can do it without changing the DNS records to point at wordpress.com. See this support document on mapping an existing domain to a site here.
