  Hi @amycmyers,

  Those are WP.com name servers for domains that registered outside of WordPress.com. Check this guide for changing name servers: https://wordpress.com/support/change-name-servers/.

  P.S. I just realized that for adding custom domain to WP.com blog you need to have a paid plan. Check this pricing guide:

  I hope this will help! Feel free to reply info you need more help.

  Have a nice day!

  Hi there,

  If you have a domain registered somewhere else, you need to change the name servers at the domain provider where you have the domain registered.

  However, that alone won’t connect your domain to your WordPress.com site. You’ll also need the domain connection upgrade on our end to complete the process. That upgrade is included in our Pro plan.
