Static ip
-
Hello
in the las few days, i’ve been trying to figure out the problem of redirecting my host name to wordpress nameserver(my service provider doesn’t let me redirect to ns1.wordpress.com, but requires me a ip address)
I was thinking of using dyndns service.
Do you think it’s a good idea?Thanks
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
We don’t have a single IP address for your site since we have your site on a number of geographically-diverse servers to improve speed and uptime.
Since we change out the IPs we use based on when different datacenters/server go online, we don’t suggest using IP addresses.
Our suggested route is to map your domain (by adding it via the Store > My Domains page on your site’s dashboard), add the MX records currently on your site to our Store > My Domains > Edit DNS, and then change your nameservers to WordPress.com.
However, if you still want to go ahead and map your domain using A records, please be sure to create at least two, pointing to the two IPs from the list below.
- 192.0.78.12
- 192.0.78.13

Thanks for the answer
my idea is to
-leave the MX records were they are
-point the A Record to an ip bought from a service like dyndns or similar
-point the dyndns ip (using their service Name Server Record) to ns1.wordpress.com…
I’m not 100% shure but it makes sense to me. -
Yes that sounds good. You can map your domain using A records (the IPs that I provided you) and keep the MX records as they are. If your site goes down, please contact us right away to get the new IPs.
