  Hi there,

  I’m trying to point my domain, barrycooper.com, to barrygcooper.wordpress.com and have changed the A records at my registrar (Network Solutions) so they point to the IP 208.91.197.27.

  Is there something else I need to do, as at present barrycooper.com seems to go nowhere.

  Very grateful of any help you guys can offer.

  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 nameservers 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:

  66.155.11.238

  192.0.81.250

  76.74.254.120

  66.155.9.238

  76.74.254.123

  192.0.80.250

  Rootjosh, that is so helpful – thanks so much. I’ve changed the nameservers at Network Solutions and will post again if there are any issues.

  Thanks again!
