  Hi there,
  Where exactly are you moving to please ie. which specific blogging platform. I’m asking because there is no permanent static IP address for any WordPress.com blog. All IPs are dynamic ie. ever changing. Therefore WordPress.com does not provide static IP addresses.

  See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ip-address-for-domain-mapping-1?replies=6#post-1330967

  Oops! I need coffee because I posted the reverse. Sorry but not to worry. If you post the third party hosting IP address here Staff can and will assist with that when they get to this thread.

  Hi @EngageRBC – If you need to point your domain to an IP using an A record (rather than name servers), then it’s better if you transfer your domain out altogether to a full-service registrar (such as GoDaddy).

  You can transfer your domain by following these instructions:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  If you have any trouble, please let me know which step you’re getting stuck at, and what happens when you try to follow it. I’ll be happy to help you out! :)
