    I was addressing the fact that you need to be patient while waiting for Staff Please do not respond to my comment this time as the off the front page threads that are we Volunteers are trying to answer are numerous.

    Just wanted to add that in addition to the extra apps, of which I use google analytics only, Cloudflare _average_ response time is about 120 ms, whereas wordpress.com on its own is about 3 seconds, so 3000 ms. That’s why the combination of the two, as long as it works, is a pretty good one.

    I do not know where to go to get this problem solved so I guess this is as good a place as any. Usually to get to my blog I type wordpress.com which leads me to Get a free blog here. I click on that and it takes me right to my blog. Today I am having to type my blog URL to get into it. http://beingfaithfultograce.wordpress.com Is there a problem with wordpress and I use google search engine. Where I am being taken is a wp page that tells me to watch a video and cannot get into my blog. Thanks for help. SR

    But clearly it’s not working; we have multiple threads on Cloudflare issues. That WP.com allows you to use them does not mean Wp.com will take responsibility for them. You’re on your own with Cloudflare on this, I’m afraid.

    Hi rain coaster and fellow members who just posted:

    I don’t mind if it’s no longer working and I need to have the name servers on WordPress [dot] Com. There are two things here:

    CloudFlare Support says everything is OK on their end – the name servers

    I can issue a Ping command to my website and it sends packets of data OK.

    If WordPress is running some flavor of LAMP – which I suspect they do – then they just need to query the Apache error logs for particular IP addresses in question, to see what the issue is.

    What I’m looking for – if not a fix – is a reasonable and plausible explanation why this CloudFlare / WordPress combination is no longer possible. Name servers are not rocket science to software engineers, if you understand them. I used to interface with them on the Motorola Intranet, when I managed Apache servers and Oracle databases for engineers. You can read about them on Wiki at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_server.

    So what I seek is knowledge. Something to this effect: “This is no longer possible on WordPress side because (A) or (B) or (c) – whatever.

    A word to the moderators. I’m not adding anything here, but just responding to the previous posters.

    We can’t really support Cloudflare here, as we only support domain mapping via name servers. We do not have static IP addresses, which makes pointing Cloudflare to your blog (via an A record to an IP address) problematic at best.

    To explain briefly, we have a growing number of datacenters with thousands of servers between them. WordPress.com is already built on top of a cloud architecture, so when one server goes offline, everything is routed over to another transparently. When your domain is mapped to us by name servers, this all happens automatically.

    With Cloudflare, you’re directing the domain to one IP. If that server/IP goes offline, so does your site, there’s nothing we can do about that.

    There’s a bit more involved, but that’s the short version.

    If you want consistent performance with a mapped domain on WordPress.com, you’ll need to direct the name servers to us.

    Thanks for the input. If folks (like myself), which to set the name servers back to WordPress name servers, is there some WordPress documentation you can point us to (i.e. how to do this on WordPress)?

    Wait. I think you did provide some documentation.

  • staff-blorbo · Staff ·

    Our name servers are:

    NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
    NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

    If your domain is registered through us, you can change your name servers following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/
