  Hi,

  Just looked up how to point our existing A Record (http://www.libcloudigital.co.za) to this WordPress site we have with you:
  https://libcloudigitaldotcodotza.wordpress.com/

  And this is the answer we found online:

  Using 3rd-party Nameservers #

  If you’re required to host the DNS elsewhere, you can create A records pointing to two or more of our IPs. To get this information, please contact us using the contact form inside your Dashboard.

  – Could you provide the correct IP numbers we can add to our current domain host (A Reocords) – as we do not want to change nameservers in full.

  Many thanks – Paul

  Hi

  WordPress staff can provide you the IP addresses, but It’s highly recommended that you use nameservers, since WordPress IPs changes from time to time, making your site unavailable each time that happens, forcing you to get the new IPs again.

  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.

  You can contact them here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
  Just type in anything, and at the end of the search results will be a blue button: “Get in Touch with Support”

  Cheers
