  Hello,
  I’m wanting to change my URL to radianthearthealing.com.au (I have registered it outside of wordpress.com). I want my current URL (radiantheartyoga.org … registered with wordpress.com) to redirect to the new domain.

  If I add my new domain to my wordpress site, can I continue paying for radiantheartyoga.org and have it redirect to the new domain?

  Let me know if you need any further info

  Hi there. You can connect the new domain to WordPress.com via the domain mapping upgrade: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you keep paying for the old domain it will still point to the WordPress.com site as well. Which URL will appear in visitors’ browsers depends on which domain is set as your primary domain. In other words, if you want the new domain to be the one shown, just select that one as your primary domain from My Domains in the dashboard: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#setting-the-primary-domain

  Let us know if you need more help with this.
