  Hello,

  I work for a nonprofit. We created our website using wordpress, but would like to use our domain name: eastbaysanctuary.org, which is already registered through January 2016, through a different organization. Will you please provide me a list of IP addresses or A records that I can use?

  Thanks!

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

  WordPress.com provides free blogs and free hosting for them. WordPress.com does not accept domain name transfers but mapping to an existing domain can be done.

  Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it and the domain mapping purchase here every year.

  Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually. In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  PS – WordPress.COM does not support fixed IP addresses (they have about 6 currently for around 30,000,000 blogs I think) – so the numbers change – using the name server method noted above is way more reliable – sort of set it and forget about it (remember to renew next year however)
