  My registrar requires the A records in order to map. Where can I get them?

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

  The top level domain here is wordpress.com. All sites hosted here are on .wordpress.com sub domains like http://20somethingpodcast.wordpress.com/ including those with domain mapping. I don’t see a domain URL above.

  WordPress.COM blogs do not have permanent IP addresses.

  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

  Thanks!
