  I need access to this website’s current IP address. I’m looking to have a custom domain made and need the IP address before my employer’s IT department will approve the custom domain. I have suggested using the ‘nameserver’ solution, but they are insisting on having the current IP address. Thank you.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hey @davemontez, you can use websites like https://who.is/dns/ to check the ip address of a domain. Let me know if that works for you.

  Hi there,

  When you add a domain connection upgrade to your site, you’ll get taken to a page that lists the correct IPs for your specific site that you can add to the domain. Those IPs won’t necessarily be the same as the ones your site is currently using on the free plan, so checking the DNS for your site’s free example.wordpress.com address is not the best way to get those.

  We have more information on alternative methods to point a domain to us besides changing name servers here:

  Note that using your own domain with your WordPress.com site requires our Pro plan, regardless of which method you use to point the domain to us.
