  24 to 72 hours but changes usually start after a few hours

  However your name servers don’t seem to be pointing here – please check these instructions

  My domain registrar asks for both name servers and IP address in order to change them, otherwise it won’t let me change them.

  Do you have an idea what IP addresses should i fill in there?

  I flagged this for the staff to give you the IP addresses – NOTE – WordPress.COM does not guarantee the IP address will not change without notice – static IP addresses are going away as they are more expensive – most hosts now use dynamic IP addresses – and it is an extra charge for static addresses – is the IP address because of email? If so you should be able to do the email without a static IP address

  Hi assezvu,

  The IP addresses for our name servers (ns1.wordpress.com, ns2.wordpress.com, and ns3.wordpress.com) are currently:

  • 72.233.69.14
  • 76.74.159.137
  • 207.198.112.47

  As auxclass pointed out, those can change at any time.
