  Can you give me the IP address for hosting account so that I can just adjust my A record to transfer the DNS to wordpress.com but keep the email with bluehost

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

  There is no permanent static IP address for any WordPress.com blog. All IPs are dynamic ie. ever changing. Therefore WordPress.com does not purport to provide static IP addresses.

  Hi there,

  As timethief and auxclass mentioned, WordPress.com doesn’t use static IP addresses, but if you point your name servers to WordPress.com you can still host your email with another email hosting service.

  This guide has details about mapping your domain to WordPress.com with our name servers: Map an Existing Domain

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)
