  Hi,

  To change the subdomain name on WordPress.com, visit https://wordpress.com/domains/manage/artisticityfiles.wordpress.com, click the three-dot icon, and then select the option to change the domain name from the pop-up.

  

  Give it a try, and let me know how that goes! 😄

  Hi @artisticityfiles,
  Yes, you can change your WordPress.com subdomain. Here’s the guide that walks you through the steps: https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/

  Just a quick heads-up before you make any changes:
  Changing your site address will permanently break links pointing to the old address, and the old address cannot be recovered or reused once changed. If you want to keep everything working without breaking existing links, you might consider adding a custom domain instead, that way your current address stays active.
