    I have a domain that I am trying to redirect to my wordpress site. The registrar has updated the cname, but requires an A Record. Where do I find this?

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

    Hi there,

    WordPress.com’s A records are:
    192.0.78.25
    192.0.78.24

    Please note that these 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.

    Let me know if you need more help.

    Hi there.

    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, @fstat is correct – please be sure to create two records using these IP addresses:

    192.0.78.25

    192.0.78.24

    Thanks!
