  I’ve pointed my nameservers to ns1.wordpress.com and ns2.wordpress.com however when I try to resolve flawk.to it’s coming back with a dns error. I’ve even gone as far as changing the SOA to you guys. Nada.

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

  The server at flawk.to can’t be found, because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the network service that translates a website’s name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Google Chrome from accessing the network.
  Error code: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

  Hi there,

  I see that you added the nameservers to your DNS Records; however, your current nameservers are still set to:

  ns-428.awsdns-53.com
  ns-870.awsdns-44.net

  Please change that to:

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

  Then you should be set. I see that you also added a subdomain. If you want to map a subdomain you will need to add a CNAME record as seen here:

  Map a Subdomain

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
