  Godaddy should accept name servers and IP addresses should not be needed – your domain name is set:

  Domain Name: CRAFTITBAKEIT.COM
  Registrar: WILD WEST DOMAINS, LLC
  Whois Server: whois.wildwestdomains.com
  Referral URL: http://www.wildwestdomains.com
  Name Server: NS31.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
  Name Server: NS32.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

  Is that to your host?
  Has your host set their system records for your domain name correctly – your new host needs to do the equivalent of domain mapping to have their servers send traffic to the correct place

  Sorry, I’m not good at all of this,

  The name severs shown above are the ones I found on go daddy and then copied onto the wordpress.com account using this tutorial

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  is that right?

  I have no idea about the wildwest domains and who they are!

  Wild West Domains is the name of the Registrar for WordPress.COM – if you bought your domain name here that is what the registrar should show

  As for the name server info – that comes from Godaddy and their people should be smart enough to give you the correct name server info – Godaddy uses many name servers – if you use the wrong name server info your site will not work –

  You don’t have a WordPress.COM issue – WP.COM is letting you change your name servers just fine – do you have any strange redirects?

  Go daddy are saying this:

  The nameservers are correct. You need to update the ‘@’ A record for the domain with the hosting IP address.

  This is done with their Support where the domain is registered.

  188.121.55.1

  And now this…

  Unfortunately I do not have access to their systems. I can tell you that this IS the problem. Just tell them you need help changing the IP address for the domain name. Don’t go into unnecessary details.
  You just need to change the IP address for your domain name to that IP address I provided.
  It is a simple change with us. It should be simple with them too
