  I want to map an existing domain I own to my blog, but the registrar requieres bot name and IP adresses for the nameservers.

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

  WordPress.com does not permit mapping by setting an A record to point to an IP address.

  Thank you, I have contacted my domain provider, but they also need the IP adresses to NS1.WORDPRESS.COM, NS2.WORDPRESS.COM and NS3.WORDPRESS.COM. Where can I can find the IP adresses?

  WordPress.com recommends that you use nameservers rather than IP addresses because IP addresses can change over time.

  If your registrar requires that you create A records, you may use the list below, but be aware that your domain might stop working at some point in the future. If that happens, please get in touch with WordPress.com to find out the most current IPs and then update your A records accordingly.

  Please be sure to create at least two, pointing to two different IPs from the list below:

  192.0.74.9
  198.181.116.9
  198.181.117.9

  Last I looked WordPress.COM used 6 IP addresses for the blogs here

  WordPress.COM does not support static IP addresses, the address change based on server load and server maintenance

  Hi @interiorbazar,

  We recommend that you do not use IP addresses and use name servers instead as previously mentioned in this thread. Will One.com (that appears to be where the domain is registered) not allow you to only set the following?

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

  I checked the support documentation but couldn’t find a definitive answer.

  Hi,

  That`s right. My domain is registered at One.com. I just emailed my question to one.com and are waiting for their answere. Thank you for all your help. If one.com not allow to only set the nameservers I will consider moving my website to another domain provider :-)

  Hi. I was having a similar problem with my own registrar. How long does it usually take for the mapping to occur, please?

  Hi jbimpersilver, it can take up to 72 hours for a domain to start working after you make a domain change like this. If you have any other questions about that, please contact us directly for more help with your domain. :)
