  Hi!
  I have a blog at terapihunden.wordpress.com
  I now have a domain terapihunden.se that i want to map to my wordpress blog. I don’t want to change NS so I would like to have the IP that I can set the A record to.

  Kind regards
  //Börje

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  That won’t be forthcoming. There’s no alternative but to change the nameservers and use the Domain Mapping upgrade.

  I made the domain upgrade and this is what wordpress says.

  ” Using 3rd-party Nameservers #
  If, for some reason, you would like to host the DNS elsewhere, you can create A records pointing to two or more of our IPs. To get this information, please contact us using the contact form inside your Dashboard.

  At least a couple of days before the migration you will want to change the TTL to 300, or if that is not allowed by your current DNS hosting, the lowest value allowed to allow for the smoothest transition possible.

  Hi Börje,

  Is there a particular reason why you don’t want to change your domain’s name servers? I want to check because that’s the most reliable way to point your domain to WordPress.com. (We currently don’t have a static set of IP addresses for you to use to map your domain, which means unless you map your domain using our name servers, your domain could stop working at any time.)
