  Hi support,

  I have registered a domain mytwinsy.com and would like to host it in WordPress.com, my question is if we paid for the services for 18USD per year. Is that possible you can give a fixed IP so that I can make the A record from my domain to link up with my new WordPress account?

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

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com doesn’t use static IP addresses. Instead, you can point your domain to WordPress.com using the steps in our guide to Use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping). Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)

  Hi Support,

  As we paid the services, i would expect my domain http://www.mytwinsy.com able point to https://mytwinsy.wordpress.com directly, please advise next steps how i can perform it.

  Regards,
  Wing

  Hi there,

  You will need to point your domain mytwinsy.com to WordPress.com first — that change is made directly at your domain registrar, where you purchased the domain name. To do that, you can change your domain’s name servers to the following:

  • NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  • NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  • NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  We also have a full guide to Use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping) that walks through the steps to make that change.

  Your domain registrar can help you make that change to your domain name, if you aren’t sure how. Once your domain’s name servers are pointed to WordPress.com, anyone who visits mytwinsy.com will see your site at mytwinsy.wordpress.com.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that!
