How to get WordPress Hosting if your Domain is hosted somewhere else?

You already own your own domain, and it is hosted somewhere other than RackWire.com or even internally.  If want to get a WordPress blog added to your site, i.e. a blog at www.YourDomain.com, here are the steps.

Step 1: Go to the App Market and sign up for a WordPress Account, by clicking “Try It Now”.

Step 2: Under Domain Options, choose “I will update my nameservers on an existing domain”.  Type in your current domain name.

Step 3: Update your DNS servers to have a new entry A record called “blog” and point it to the IP address: 67.219.60.126.  Once this propagates, you should be able to go to the custom installer located at http://yourDomain.com/wp-admin/install.php.

Step 4: Once you add this record, you can point the name servers for your domain to the rackwire name servers located at:

  • dns1.rackwire.com
  • dns2.rackwire.com

Step 5: You are now ready to start blogging.
