  Does anybody know how to link my existing wordpress account with my existing ipower account so that I could use my current wordpress account to host in the domains that I have purchased on ipower?

  Hi there,

  Of what domains are you speaking? The account you’re using to post here doesn’t own any sites and has never bought any domains from us on WordPress.com.

  Using a domain you have on ipower for a WordPress website you have does not require any accounts to be linked. Rather, you need to point the domain from ipower to your website’s hosting provider, typically by changing the domain’s name servers so your hosting provider can manage your DNS, or otherwise by just adding an A record with your host’s IP address to the DNS at your domain provider.

  Usually you would then also need to set up something called domain mapping on your hosting provider’s end to connect the domain to your server on that end. So you need to contact support for your specific hosting provider to find out their process for domain mapping.

  For sites hosted on WordPress.com, those instructions can be found at https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
