  Hi there,

  WordPress.com IP addresses are dynamic. This means that they may change in the future. The proper way is to use WordPress.com’s name servers:

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

  You can read more here:

  Here are instructions specifically for GoDaddy:

  Let me know if you need more help with your domain mapping process

  Hi there,

  We recommend that you use name servers, as @fstat indicated above. GoDaddy does allow you to change the domain’s name servers, so if someone on their end tells you it’s not possible you may want to point them to their own support doc that @fstat linked to above.

  If you have email set up on your domain you can add the required DNS records on this end, and it will still work after you change the name servers.

  But if you prefer to use IPs you can do that as well. You will need to add two A-records with these IPs:

  192.0.78.24

  192.0.78.25

  Let us know if you need any more help with this.
