  I really do not want to use and cannot use wordpress’s DNS. I need to be able to use my custom DNS for all the other entries that I have on my domain. How can I do this? What should I click?

  This is for my blog site at Genvega.com

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Do you want to use A-records instead? We don’t have a single IP address for your site since we have your site on a number of geographically-diverse servers to improve speed and uptime.

  Since we change out the IPs we use based on when different datacenters/server go online, we don’t suggest using IP addresses.

  Our suggested route is to map your domain (by adding it via the Store > My Domains page on your site’s dashboard), add the MX records currently on your site to our Store > My Domains > Edit DNS, and then change your nameservers to WordPress.com.

  However, if you still want to go ahead and map your domain using A records, please be sure to create at least two, pointing to the two IPs from the list below.
