  I have the domain ragamourragdolls.com and am trying to set up and install a custom theme I purchased. RagamourRagolls.com is hosted privately and I don’t need or want to host it with WordPress. How do I set up?

  Hi there,

  In order to use your domain hosted elsewhere with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade as a part of a paid plan so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site. You’ll specifically need to purchase the Business Plan if you want to install a custom theme.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
