  HI, @adventuringgypsy,

  WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers.

  You have to map the domain which it sounds like you are attempting to do. Unfortunately, from what I’m reading in past forum posts, is that Wix doesn’t allow the nameservers to change.

  It looks like some people have transferred the domain to another registrar and then mapped it to WordPress.com. Whoa. *learned something*
  

  But, in case I’m off somewhere, and the IP address does work for WIX (I know you can request it) , I’m tagging this for staff follow up, with the modlook tag. Please be patient as response times are anticipated to be longer than normal this week.

  Best Regards.

  Hi there, hope you don’t mind me jumping in.

  Staff replied recently to a similar topic. You can find @kokkieh’s answer here, which includes the IP addresses: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/transferring-a-domain-from-wix-to-wordpress-1

  Do note however that WordPressdotcom IP addresses can change over time and using nameservers is the preferred method.
