  I created a website with Weebly and need to point my domain to their servers. Can you set this up for me or walk me through the process of making these changes? I need to create A-Records for “www” and for my root domain. That’s one record for “www” pointing to 199.34.228.59. And one record for the root domain pointing to 199.34.228.59.

  If you need more info on these changes, please see:

  Note that I want to keep using you as my domain registrar. I am not requesting a transfer and do not have new name servers to provide you.

  Thanks!

  If you’ve registered your domain through WordPress.com and now want it to point to a blog or website hosted elsewhere then you can do this by updating the nameservers.

  This reply by staff-blorbo one of the Staff might also help a bit – mapping to a different outside host but sounds like a similar issue

  Hello, I have purchased my domain http://www.timmhackett.com from you. I have built my website on Weebly.com. I need you to point my domain to the following IP: 199.34.228.55

  This is done by changing my domain’s A-Records. I am not requesting that you transfer my domain, redirect my domain, or change my name servers. I want to remain with you as my domain registrar. For more detailed information, please see http://kb.weebly.com/domain-registrar.html.

  This is not a nameserver issue. Please do not give me the cut-and-paste response.

  Thank you.

  Hello,

  I have purchased my domain, BrooklynsCanvas.com, with GoDaddy and had that domain mapped to WordPress.com. I would now like to use my domain with Weebly, but I can no longer change my domain’s A-Name records through GoDaddy because WordPress is hosting my site now. I have read the copy and pasted answers about where to find the DNS records with my domain at “Store ->Domain” but I have not been able to access them.
  If WordPress support could please set my A-Name Records and IP Address 199.34.228.100.

  My current subdomain for Weebly is:
  brooklynscanvas.weebly.com

  Thanks

  Hi there, @brooklynscanvas,

  If your domain is registered with GoDaddy then you will need to log in to your account with them and change your nameservers back to their default parked nameservers. Once you have done so you will have access to your DNS settings and can change your IP address there. I cannot make these changes here for you.
