    I want to use wordpress on a subdomain e.g. blog.mydomain.com

    I do not want to move all my dns records from my current dns provider to wordpress.

    I naively assumed I would be able to set a cname or aname record in my existing dns records?

    If this is not possible, please can you cancel my premium trial.

    Thanks

    HI Michael,

    We don’t have a single IP address for your site since we have your site on a number of geographically-diverse servers to improve speed and uptime.

    Since we change out the IPs we use based on when different datacenters/server go online, we don’t suggest using IP addresses.

    Our suggested route is to map your domain (by adding it via the Store > My Domains page on your site’s dashboard), add the MX records currently on your site to our Store > My Domains > Edit DNS, then changing your nameservers to WordPress.com.

    However, if you still want to go ahead and map your domain using A records, please be sure to create at least two, pointing to two different IPs from the list below.

    • 192.0.81.250
    • 66.155.11.238
    • 76.74.254.123
    • 192.0.80.250
    • 76.74.254.120
    • 66.155.9.238

    Cheers!
