    We use a managed DNS service and I want to continue to use their name servers. I would also like to map the ‘naturalist.com’ and ‘www.naturalist.com’ URLs to the teennaturalist.wordpress.com blog. Can you let me know how to do this?

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

    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 map your domain using A records, please be sure to create two records using these IP addresses:

    192.0.78.12

    192.0.78.13
