  I’m currently paying for hosting on one domain name, although I’ve just purchased a 2nd domain. No hosting yet for the 2nd one. Can I switch the hosting to the 2nd site have the 1st site used only as a pointer to the 2nd? Can I switch the hosting?

  Hey there,

  The best way to do this is to map your second domain to WordPress.com by following this guide. You can then set your second domain as your primary domain. Your blog will be accesible through both domains, but the address bar will always show the second.

  Yes, you will need to pay for each domain you have mapped, even if one (or more) are not primary domains.
