  I have a domain name that I would like to point to your hosting. I am told that I need your IP Address and/or A record. Where do I get that information please?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there.

  You can map your domain’s name servers to a WordPress.com blog by setting them to these values:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM

  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  For more information about domain mapping and IP addresses please read https://wordpress.com/support/ip-addresses

  In addition, I’m tagging this as “modlook” for next available staff attention regarding IP address.

  Hope this helps! :)

  Hi there,

  Just pointing the domain to us using our IP addresses won’t work on its own. To use that domain with your WordPress.com site, you’ll also need the domain connection upgrade included in our Pro plan.

  https://wordpress.com/en/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  Once you add that upgrade, you’ll get taken to a page where you will see the correct IP addresses for your specific site, if you prefer to use those rather than name servers to point the domain to us.
