  Hi, I am trying to transfer the hosting out from wordpress to an IP address but keep the domain name registered under wordpress. I logon https://dcc.securepaynet.net to update the nameservers and set it to “standard”. However, I submitted a few requests and more than 10 hours passed. The change is still not reflected.

  Anything goes wrong?

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

  Is this regarding the digitalbronco.com domain name?

  Yes, this is regarding Digitalbronco. I spent a week on this already. How can I resolve it quicker?

  thanks!

  So there are two different ways you can go to get your WordPress.com registered domain connected with your new self-hosted site.

  If you are looking to transfer your domain to another registrar, use these instructions here:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  If you are looking to update your domain’s nameservers to point to your new webhost, use these instructions here:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  Let me know if you have any trouble and what specific step you get jammed up on.

  Hi, thanks for your reply, I have set up a server in AWS and get an IP which I host the server. I need to route all traffics to the current domain to this IP address.

  Supposingly, I can change the nameserver setting from “custom” to “standard”. I have changed many times and the system said I have submitted the requests successfully. However, I waited for weeks and it won’t allow me to change.

  Alternative, how can I map the domain to an IP?

  thanks!

  Hi, Rootjosh,

  I have another problem. I used to have email routed from this domain to outlook.com. Now, this routing is not working. It seems that it is due to the DNS is disabled. How can I keep the email DNS working while domain is directly pointed to this IP?

  Many thanks!!
