    The steps to map the domain you already own to your WordPress.com site are:

    Quick steps

    Add the domain by going to the Domains page and clicking “Map an Existing Domain”.

    If you have pre-existing email services that need to continue to work after this switch (for example, you are already receiving email at (email visible only to moderators and staff)), enter the Custom DNS records by clicking the Edit Domain button and going to the Edit DNS section.

    Update the name servers at your registrar. Enter these three separate entries:
    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    Switch the primary domain in the My Domains page.

    How quickly you see the change depends on your ISP and the “propagation”. Clear your browser’s cache if you have trouble seeing the change after 72 hours.
