Pointing my domain to a .com URL which I've bought
-
Hi there,
I would like to point my https://joburg2kili.wordpress.com/ wordpress domain to http://www.joburg2kili.com.
Please can you add http://www.joburg2kili.com to your domain for the look up.
Please can you provide me with the server IP address which the my wordpress site is hosted on so I can configure the DNS correctly on my side.
Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
The WordPress.com nameservers are:
ns1.wordpress.com
ns2.wordpress.com
ns3.wordpress.comIt may take up to 72 hours before it occurs. If you need any further information, please click on that link: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
Afterwards, make sure you set your Primary Domain. Please refer to the following support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#setting-the-primary-domain
Happy blogging!

Thanks Heliodore,
Do have you the IP addresses for these servers? This is what I need. Thank you

Hi,
You can either ask your domain provider to update your DNS settings. Here is a sample email you can send:
I would like to use my domain with a WordPress.com site. In order to do this, I need to point my domain’s name servers to the following:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COMOr Update the DNS yourself and replace any existing name servers with these three domain name server (DNS) addresses:
NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
NS3.WORDPRESS.COMIf you don’t how to access it, please refer to the following support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/#instructions-for-common-domain-providers
Happy blogging!

Thanks, this info was in the previous reply too.
The hosts are specifically asking for the IP addresses which the servers are on. Please kindly send this. Thanks!

Please refer to the following support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/ip-addresses/
IP Address For Domain Mapping
When mapping an existing domain registered with another host, the host may ask for an IP Address instead of (or in addition to) our nameservers. When possible we encourage people to add our nameservers rather than IP addresses because our IPs can change over time. If your registrar requires A records, you can contact support and we’ll provide you with a list of our current IP addresses.
Please note that since the IPs we provide are not static, your domain might stop working at some point in the future. If that happens, please contact us again to find out the most current IPs and then update your A records.

Thanks, yes they’re looking for the A records.
If you could send the IPs that would be great. Thank you

As has been mentioned, 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:
192.0.78.25
192.0.78.24
