# DNS Hosting Issue

 * Hello:
 * I’ve recently purchased a domain name through wordpress and hosting through go
   daddy.
 * In order to connect the accounts, I changed the name servers to the ones provided
   by go daddy. However this did not seem to work (waited the complete period). 
   So when I called go daddy, I was then told that the name servers should be left
   as wordpress name servers but the A NAME (IP ADDRESS) should be changed to the
   one on the go daddy site.
 * Any help figuring out what the correct solution would be is greatly appreciated.
   Thank you!

 * I’m assuming by “purchased a domain name through wordpress,” you mean WordPress.
   com, which is an entirely separate entity from WordPress.org, as WordPress.org
   doesn’t sell domains.
 * You should be able to edit your DNS through WordPress.com following this guide:
   [http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/)
 * And, if you need further help with that, I recommend contacting them via [http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/)
