  Hi there,

  You can reset your DNS by going to Store > My Domains > Edit Domain > Name servers.

  After looking into your account, I found that your nameservers for the domain: cookandspeak.com was set to the default WordPress.com nameservers.

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Hello gracejiyoung,

  Thanks for your answer, my question is more about DNS record. I want to repace le CNAME record *.cookandspeak.com to point to an other address but to do this, i need to remove the “A record” cookandspeak.com and the CNAME record *.cookandspeak.com (both handled by WordPress.com nameservers.

  After a moment, i may need to restore the default configuration in the Edit DNS Menu :

  A cookandspeak.com handled by WordPress.com
  NS cookandspeak.com handled by WordPress.com
  CNAME *.cookandspeak.com handled by WordPress.com

  Is it possible ? and is it the right way to s
  do so ?

  Hi there,

  I’m a bit confused as to changing the CNAME. Are you trying to map a subdomain instead? If you could clarify what you would like to accomplish I can see what would need to be changed.

  Cheers!

  Here it is what i want to do : i want to map my domain “cookandspeak.com” and all of its subdomain to “cookandspeakdk.weebly.com” without transferring the domain to an orther registar.
  To do this i want to add a *.cookandspeak.com CNAME record to my DNS worpress zone.

  Regards,

  That’s ok, i have try my configuration and i saw that i could restore previous zone config by clicking on Store > My Domains > Edit DNS > View previous revisions of your DNS records.

  Then I have found a topic on http://kb.weebly.com/domain-registrar.html that explains me how to do what I want. Weebly is a pages wildcard service witch exposes several known IP and i just have to point to one with an A record. Next I have to set up Weebly to map the redirection to the correct sub-Domain of Weebly.com.
