  I didn’t realize that I was getting dot com – it said “like dot com” I would rather have dot net or dot org – can this be changed now?

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

  Are you referring to your recently purchased domain justusradionetwork.com? If so, I can cancel that domain so you can purchase justusradionetwork.net instead. Just be aware the .com version will get sent back to the registrar and may be purchased by someone else.

  Just reply back to confirm you no longer want the .com, and I’ll cancel it so we can get you setup with the .net!

  Thank you – yes that is exactly it. What if I purchase justusradionetwork.net now and not ask for refund for the dot com? Will that work – otherwise, no problem if it’s out there for someone else to potentially purchase.

  Then, hopefully you can assist me in making sure that dot net gets applied to the site I have created on WordPress so that it has the new URL of justusradionetwork.net

  Thanks again

  You could definitely do that following the steps here:

  Register a New Domain

  Then, once you purchase the .net, just set it as the primary domain here:

  https://justusradionetwork.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Then, the .com version will redirect to the .net version. Would that work?

  In that scenario, you would own both the .com and .net versions.

  Hi again – I followed the steps above and it all seems set. I just want to make sure I didn’t miss something – and I do know that it can take time to make the changes.
  However, it has been about an hour and although justusradionetwork.net is coming up in the browser, the page is not showing. Should I just wait longer, or is there some sort of error?
  Thanks again.

  Hi!

  It looks like the .net registration failed for some reason. I’ve added $18 in credits to your account. Can you try to follow the instructions here one last time?

  Register a new domain name

  Great! Looks like the .net was registered successfully. Let me know if you run into any more trouble.
