Using a DNS A record rather than switching nameservers

  Do I really need to switch my nameservers to wordpress.com if I want to use a domain name with it? My email is already working fine, and switching nameservers seem un-necessary when you don’t offer email management.

  I’d rather set an A record with my existing nameservers pointing to wordpress.com – how can this be done?

  Thank you,
  Kirk

  Fully map a domain name requires changing the nameservers. We can simply set your existing MX mail records so you e-mail will keep working.

  Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions.
