# WordPress.com DNS Mapping?

 * Hi everyone,
 * Probably not the best place to post this but the best I can do.
 * I’m building a website for a client to replace the current one that they have
   hosted with WordPress.com. As an interim measure, I needed to setup email forwarding
   for them, so I setup a DNS service with Crazydomains, forwarding the emails, 
   and then setup an A record to point to 198.181.116.9 as a substitute for name
   servers pointing straight to WordPress. The records have propagated but the website
   will not resolve, it just says “This site can’t be reached”.
 * Could anyone provide any advice on this? CrazyDomains customer service was hopeless
   with the issue.

 * I’m sorry but you are in the wrong place. These forums are for self-hosted WordPress
   sites only. Please try asking your question on [http://en.forums.wordpress.com/](http://en.forums.wordpress.com/)
