You can use a domain that you purchased from Wordpress to point to your OfferingTree site by setting what is known as a CNAME record. Here are instructions from WordPress to set up a CNAME record: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/custom-dns/
Your DNS records are located in your Domains page (My Site → Upgrades → Domains).
Click on DNS records to expand that component, then on Manage.

To add a new DNS record:
- Select Add a record button at the top right.
- Select the DNS record (CNAME) type from the Type dropdown.
- Fill in the following information
Host Name - www
Alias (Points to) - customdomains.offeringtree.com
4. Click on the Add DNS record button to save the record.
Check your DNS: Back in OfferingTree, open Site Settings → Domains and click Check my DNS. Your site goes live on its own a few minutes after your records are saved — there is no need to contact us. For the full walkthrough, see How To Get Your Own Custom Domain.
Additionally, we recommend adding a redirect so users that type in your domain without a www prefix are redirected to the www version of your domain. For example, if your domain is example.com please add a redirect so example.com goes to www.example.com. Here are instructions to set up a redirect: https://blog.hubspot.com/website/wordpress-redirect
Use a 302 redirect and pick your domain. For the destination URL, use http://www.yourdomain.com (replacing yourdomain.com with your actual domain). For the "WWW redirect options", select "Do Not Redirect www"
