   Hello,

   we have a purchased domain (ateneonavarro.es) in which we have several services (mail, ftp, etc...). We would like to configure it so when it goes to the web page (http://www.ateneonavarro.es) it goes to the wordpress.com page we have (http://ateneonavarro.wordpress.com).

   As far as I know, we need to configure in our server the records such as CNAME, A, etc... and I am not being able of finding them (all info I get is for doing just the opposite, configure in wordpress DNS to go somewhere else http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/) and we would like to do just the opposite.

   Could you please provide me your CNAME, A... records?

   Thank you in advanced,
   Luis

   Hey there,

   If you choose to use a DNS provider other than WordPress.com, you can only make your blog accessible via a subdomain.

   We run WordPress.com using a wide variety of servers, so there's no single IP address we can give you for an A record.

   Instead, you'll need to create a CNAME to access your blog. For your CNAME, just enter your WordPress.com blog address, e.g. support.wordpress.com.

   You cannot create a CNAME for the root of your domain (i.e. example.com), so you'll need to create a subdomain (i.e. blog.example.com).

   You can learn more about mapping a subdomain here.

   If you'd like to place your blog at the root of your domain, you will need to use WordPress.com's DNS hosting.

   Best,
   P.
