Domain Mapping – What is the WordPress Host Name?
-
I’m trying to map an existing domain to my wordpress blog
I’ve deleted the old Host Name and IP Address
but what are the new WordPress Host Name and IP Address to enter instead?
I only have:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COMbut no Host Name
Any help would be great
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
We actually suggestion you map your domain by changing the name servers alone:
ns1.wordpress.com
ns2.wordpress.com
ns3.wordpress.comOur IP address are dynamic, and do change. Therefore, we don’t suggest they are used for site mapping, lest the mapping ‘break’ when the IPs are adjusted.
If you use the name server adjustment alone, you do not need any host name either.
You may find the support documentation on mapping your existing domain to your WordPress.com site helpful:

Thank you
Turns out we didn’t need the Host Name per se
Pasted the Name Servers into the box marked Host Name and it self populated
