Hi there. I am about to create a WordPress site for a client who already has a domain. I was just wondering which things I would need to get a hold of to link the already existing domain.

I need a list of things to ask the domain company for that I need to enter into the WordPress site on Step 2.

Be please as detailed as possible, thank you very much to anyone who replies!

Hi ljbtech,

To have a custom domain on your WordPress.com site, you have to purchase one of the paid plans.

Here is a document on how to map your existing domain to your WordPress.com site with the details that you would need.

If you want to manage your site and domain on the same place. You may transfer the domain to WordPress.com.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks Josh. So all I need is to call up my domain registrar and ask them to point the name servers to:

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

Thanks for the quick reply :)
