  Hi there,

  I would be happy to assist you in removing rainbowleaders.org.za . However, the reason you are unable to yourself is because rainbowleaders.org.za is not associated with the account you contacted us from. To confirm ownership, post in this thread under the username/account that purchased the upgrade. Then, you should be able to remove the domain yourself. Otherwise, I can do it for you at that point.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Hi Darnell
  What I’m actually trying to do is to keep the domain managed on our registrars DNS servers, with google managing the email and wordpress managing the site.
  Now I presume this is as simple as filling in the right a-records at our registrar, but what should they be set to, and are there any other changes that need to be made on the wordpress.com setup?
  (I am now admin on the account that holds the site, if you need further verification let me know)
  Thanks
  Tim

  Hi there.

  The best way to map a domain to a WordPress.com blog is to set your domain’s name servers to the following values:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  However, if your registrar requires that you create A records, please note that our IPs change over time. Because of this, your domain might stop working at some point in the future. If that happens, please get in touch with us to find out the most current IPs and then update your A records, accordingly.

  If you still want to map your domain using A records, please be sure to create two records using these IP addresses:

  192.0.78.25

  192.0.78.24

  In regards to having access to the domain mapping subscription on our end, you’ll need to be logged in as the account owner of the upgrade – even though you’re an admin on the account, you still will not have access to the upgrade if you’re not the owner.

  Thanks!
