    I have a free Wordpres site, and just bought WordPress hosting through Go Daddy. But they told me I have to change the IP address. I went into WordPress and went to Store > My Domains > Edit DNS…but the A code I typed in wouldn’t work. So I’m stuck and need help switching the IP address.

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

    Hi there,

    We don’t have a single IP address for your site since we have your site on a number of geographically-diverse servers to improve speed and uptime.

    Since we change out the IPs we use based on when different datacenters/server go online, we don’t suggest using IP addresses.

    Our suggested route is to map your domain (by adding it via the Store > My Domains page on your site’s dashboard), add the MX records currently on your site to our Store > My Domains > Edit DNS, then changing your nameservers to WordPress.com.

    However, if you still want to go ahead and map your domain using A records, please be sure to create at least two, pointing to two different IPs from the list below.

    • 192.0.81.250
    • 66.155.11.238
    • 76.74.254.123
    • 192.0.80.250
    • 76.74.254.120
    • 66.155.9.238

    Cheers!
