What IP address would I use to point to custom domain?

    I have a custom domain with email access through Network Solutions. We don’t want to change how we use the email, but want to point to our new website/blog with WordPress. Network Solutions told me I need an IP address from WordPress to input in their system in order to not change the name servers (which would change the email.) Can you tell me what IP address I would use?
    Thank you, Shelley

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

    Hi Shelley,

    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->Domains page on your site’s dashboard), add the MX records currently on your site to our Store->Domains->Edit DNS, then changing your nameservers to WordPress.com.

    I’ll send you an e-mail with a bit more information to the e-mail address listed on your account.
