  Why are you asking this question, please?

  Note: WordPress.COM blogs do not have permanent IP addresses.

  I need to link the ip address to the domain address I bought on godaddy for A records.

  I looked up the ip address of my wordpress site on: https://cachecheck.opendns.com/

  would this be correct?

  Thanks!

  Hi there.

  The best way to map a domain to a WordPress.com blog is to set your domain’s name servers to the following values:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  However, if your registrar requires that you create A records, please note that our IPs change over time. Because of this, your domain might stop working at some point in the future. If that happens, please get in touch with us to find out the most current IPs and then update your A records, accordingly.

  If you still want to map your domain using A records, please be sure to create two records using these IP addresses:

  192.0.78.25

  192.0.78.24

  However, Go Daddy doesn’t require A Records, so I would recommend using nameservers.

  Thanks!
