need dns help for mapping domain hosted at manage.opensrs.net

  • sharondjones · Member ·

    I have no experience and so no clue as to the settings that are r equired to link my domain and blog together.
    Today I closed a store in shopify where I originaly bought the domain name.
    I decided after closing the store that I want to continue to use the domain name.
    what do I need to input for the following?

    DNS Zone for .xxxx.xxxxx.ca

    A Records

    Subdomain IP Address
    .xxxx.xxxxx.ca Remove
    Add Record

    AAAA Records

    Subdomain IPv6 Address
    Add Record

    CNAME Records

    Subdomain Hostname
    .xxxx.xxxxx.ca Remove
    Add Record

    MX Records

    Subdomain Priority Hostname
    Add Record

    SRV Records

    Subdomain Priority Weight Port Hostname
    Add Record

    TXT Records

    Subdomain Text
    Add Record

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

    I think what you are asking is: How do I map from a .wordpress.com blog to an existing domain?

    If you would like to map to a domain that you own from your wordpress.COM blog you will first need to set up domain mapping.

    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is.It does not have to match the domain URL.

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

    You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase upgrades for the blog.

    If you own a domain then see here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

    Thanks for your help! I already own the domain name hosted at srs, so I am just mapping. It looks like all I need to do is wait for the domain propogation to take place then. I thought this was going to be more complex than it is lol
