  I want to point my 123reg website at WordPress and they require WordPress IP addresses.

  I’ve already changed the nameservers to WordPress as per the guidance.

  What are the current WordPress IP addresses?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there!

  Can you let us know the URL of the site where you’re going to add the domain and what domain you plan on using? Once we have that information, we’ll be better able to advise.

  Thank you!

  Thanks for that!

  I will advise that you won’t be able to simply point the domain to our servers – it will show an error message that your site is missing a paid plan.

  To have your domain be your primary domain instead of the free christopherdadson.wordpress.com URL, you need a paid plan. Then, you can set your domain’s nameservers to:

  ns1.wordpress.com
  ns2.wordpress.com
  ns3.wordpress.com

  You can read more about how to do this on your 123Reg account here:

  https://www.123-reg.co.uk/support/domains/how-do-i-change-the-nameservers-for-my-domain-name/

  The domain connection needed is included in the plan price, so there’s no extra charge for that.

  I hope that helps!

  Ok, thanks.

  I already knew about the nameserver changes, but wasn’t aware that I required a paid plan.

  Thanks for letting me know.
