  Hi there,

  It sounds like there might be some confusion with your registrar.

  When you set up your domain, you need to point to the name, not the IP, and use the following:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  According to the DNS specification, the authoritative nameservers are given by name, not IP. This is because IP addresses might change. By entering a name, the DNS system can properly resolve the authoritative nameserver name to an IP.

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

  Let me know if you have any further questions.

  Cheers!
