WordPress.com gives you the power to build a brand identity and gives you a professional edge. All that you have to do is to point the domain hosted on MilesWeb to WordPress.com. Here’s how to do it the right way.
Requirements:
Make sure that you have the following before pointing the domain to WordPress:
- A paid WordPress.com plan (Personal, Premium, Business, or higher)
- Access to the Domain Mapping feature for your website.
Pointing the Domain to WordPress.com:
Once the requirements are met, update your domain’s DNS settings by adding the following nameservers:
- ns1.wordpress.com
- ns2.wordpress.com
- ns3.wordpress.com
You will find these settings in your domain registrar’s control panel. Remove the current nameservers and add the WordPress nameservers.
Allow Time for DNS Propagation
Once you have updated the nameservers you will need to allow time for these changes to propagate across the internet. DNS propagation typically takes up to 24 hours to fully propagate, and during this time, your website might not be available.
By pointing the domain to WordPress.com, you get a functional website for your domain.
