  Hi @msbrpc,

  To move your DNS records outside of WordPress.com, you would need to edit them, which you can do so by navigating to your Dashboard -> Upgrades -> Domains.

  Once you’re there, you can click on your domain, select the DNS records section, and click on Manage. From here, you can edit, add, or delete any records you may need.

  Since you are looking to connect it to another host, it is recommended you first connect your name servers, so your domain remains active in case you choose to transfer it outside of WordPress.com.

  I would also like to clarify that this option is only available for custom domains, as you can’t our default .wordpress.com domains outside of our DNS records.

  Thank you for such a good question on our forums, and feel free to reach out any time you need; we are here to help our users!
