  What specifically are you intending to do? What is the URL of the domain?

  Read: IP Address For Domain Mapping
  WordPress.com sites are not on permanent IP addresses. Sop if your use the IP addresses the domain mapping will eventually fail.

  Hi there,

  Is your domain hosted elsewhere and the host is asking for the A Records?

  I bought a domain name and forwarded it to my wordpress account. But for it to forward correctly I need the server name or IP address

  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!

  Thank you, I’m changing the IP address and what are the two host names I need?
  I am assuming “@” and I need another? Blessings, Crystal

  Although most hosts only need two, we have three nameserver values you can add:

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

  Hi there,

  In the previous post, I provided both nameservers and IP addresses. Are those not what you are referring to?

  192.0.78.25
  192.0.78.24

  Let me know. Thanks.

  I am unsure of what you are needing. WordPress.com is technically the host of the site you want to map your domain to.

  What is the domain URL? Where is the domain currently hosted? And is https://faithwifehero.wordpress.com/ the site you are wanting to point your domain to?

  Let me know, thanks!

  Dome file? I’m not sure what that is? Are you speaking with your domain host? if so, is it possible to see the wording in the email that they sent you to get clarification on what you need. Thanks!

  I was told that the reason my domain is not able to be forwarded to my WordPress because I need a DNS dome file. Having the server names you gave me is not enough. Right now my domain name is not connecting to WordPress. Blessings, Crystal

  Are your referring to a DNS zone file? Who is your domain host? Also, what is your domain URL? We add the zone record on our end before you can point the name servers to your WordPress.com site.

  Thanks,
