    Hi,

    Can I ask someone how I can get the IP address of my new website? I need for my IT colleagues to redirect our old website (http://www.wallonia.co.uk/) to the new one (https://walloniadotcom.wordpress.com/) but they need this IP address.

    The emails of the Embassy are linked to that domain so I can do any mapping either work on the DNS.

    Can I also ask if this IP address will be enough to redirect our domain to the new WordPress website?

    Thanks in advance for your precisous help!

    Regards,

    Mélissa

    Hi there. Redirecting to an IP address is not very effective. Your site doesn’t have a unique IP address. All WordPress.com sites share a set of IP addresses and these change over time, so the redirect will stop working every time the IP addresses change.

    The best way to use another domain with your WordPress.com site is to buy the domain mapping upgrade: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

    The emails of the Embassy are linked to that domain so I can do any mapping either work on the DNS.

    I assume you meant “can’t” do mapping? In that case I’ll tag this for staff to follow up. Please be patient while waiting for their response.
