  To map your domain to a WordPress.com site, you will need to purchase the Domain Mapping upgrade and update your name servers at your domain registrar to point to WordPress.com.

  For more information on how to do this, please see:

  My service provider also told me about IP pointing but couldn’t give me much info.
  Any idea on how this would work?

  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 go ahead and map your domain using A records, please be sure to create at least two, pointing to two different IPs from the list below:

  66.155.9.238
  66.155.11.238
  76.74.254.120
  76.74.254.123
  192.0.80.250
  192.0.81.250
