    Hey matt40k,

    Seems like you are trying to figure out something similar to what I am struggling with… So, I’d be interested in any feedback that this post of yours might receive!

    I have a domain (babli.org), registered with an external provider, which I had set up with ‘WordPress Domain Mapping’, so that it would RE-DIRECT to my wordpress.com site (bablifarm.wordpress.com). It has been running smoothly, with this setup, for the past year.

    Now, my domain mapping subscription has EXPIRED (today) – and I DON’T want to renew it right away.

    Instead, I want to use the WEB FORWARDING feature provided by my domain-registrar, so that my domain can LOAD the same wordpress.com site.

    And I am UNABLE to find a way to SET DNS RECORDS within my WordPress>Admin tools…

    Is it at all POSSIBLE to do such a ‘redirection’ with a WordPress.com site – WITHOUT the ‘Domain Mapping’ feature upgrade – I wonder?

    If you do that, you’re website url will be bablifarm.wordpress.com. Going to babli.org will just go to bablifarm.wordpress.com.

    I want to buy the Domain Mapping, so matt40k.tech.blog will become matt40k.uk.

    What I don’t want to do is use WordPress DNS servers. I much prefer CloudFlare – they have DNSSEC support, they can also proxy my site so it works over IPv6 as WordPress.com is only IPv4. In short, they feel the technical gaps in WordPress.com offering.

    WordPress said to contact Support (https://en.support.wordpress.com/ip-addresses/) to get the list of IP addresses – shame they don’t publicly publish this IPs :(

    All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/

    Note: WordPress.COM blogs do not have permanent IP addresses. If you use IP addresses then be aware that they change and your domain mapping will fail. https://en.support.wordpress.com/ip-addresses/
