  I am trying to move my website to a new platform but the third party who provide our domain are asking for the A record…where can I find this?

  Hi –

  Our preference would be to use name servers instead of A records. They’re stable and never change. A records change periodically – and when that happens your site will go down until you update to the new A record.

  What site are you trying to move to our managed hosting at WordPress.com?
