  I know it’s addressed in Support documents, but I’m not clear on how to deal with this situation:

  – I want to start a new blog using my own domain name. say OwnDomain.com

  – This domain is registered through a third party, Active-Domain.

  – My domain email is directed through a fourth party, Zoho Mail.

  I’m hazy on the technicalities, but the MX fields at Active-Domain direct OwnDomain.com mail to Zoho, and that’s pushed (IMAP) to my email clients.

  Is it possible to keep this mail setup, and still have WordPress host my new OwnDomain.com blog? How would I set that up?

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

  Note: The Forum automatically added the sentence, “The blog I need help with is hillbillyatharvard.wordpress.com.” This is not correct. I am asking about starting a new and different blog.

  It’s been a couple of weeks, and no responses. Should I contact Support?
