Point wordpress domain to OVH servers
-
Hi there,
I actually own a domain name on wordpress.com (lynetteandremy.com) and I’m trying to add this domain to my OVH server.
To do so I need to follow this step (http://postimg.org/image/sep9uheb3/) which includes uploading a specific TXT record for my actual domain and to point the A record to a specific IP. How can I upload the file text if I don’t have access to any FTP on wordpress.com?
Can you help me with that?
Worst case scenario, I was thinking adding the following script to my page:
<meta http-equiv=’refresh’ content=’0; URL=’http://lynetteandremy.net” />
… but I can’t even do so because I don’t have access to <head></head>Could you please assist me with one of these 2 solutions?
Regards,

Hi there,
In WordPress.com sites you don’t have access to FTP files since the sites are hosted with WordPress.com. c
To understand more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org, please visit this link: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Since WP is an open source platform, you’re not allowed to add scripts to your WordPress.com sites.
If you need to add TXT records, using MX records, please visit this link: -
Hi Carladoria,
Thanks for your help!
I have been able to redirect http://www.lynetteandremy.com by adding a TXT, A and AAAA records. However I would also like to do so with with the default records (lynetteandremy.com > the most important one) but they cannot be edited directly as mentioned on the bottom of this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/
Any clue?
Thanks again for your time.

Finally found my way to edit the default records.
Need to do it via this url: https://wordpress.com/my-domains/
And not via this one: https://wordpress.com/domains/Cheers,
