  Hi there,

  To use a domain you own somewhere else with a site on WordPress.com, requires the domain mapping upgrade included in our paid plans. Our IP address will not help you in any way without a domain mapping upgrade to connect the domain on this end:

  Additionally we recommend that you point the domain to us by changing the name servers, rather than just adding the IP address, as it’s more stable that way. You can find more details in the support page I linked to above.
