Ask our AI assistantDomain Name System (DNS) records control what happens when someone types your domain name into their browser. They determine which website appears, where your emails get delivered, and how you can connect your domain to other services like email providers or marketing tools.
You can only manage your DNS records on WordPress.com if your domain’s name servers are set to WordPress.com. If your domain uses a different provider’s name servers, you’ll need to make DNS changes through that provider instead.
To find your domain’s DNS records on WordPress.com, follow these steps:
- Visit your site’s dashboard.
- Navigate to Upgrades → Domains (or Hosting → Domains if using WP Admin) to view all the domains associated with that site.
- Click on the domain you want to manage.
- Click on the “DNS records” option.
- Click the Manage button to add new DNS records and edit existing DNS records.
