  Howdy hermonday!

  Rather than cancelling the domain and risk losing it completely, you could change the name servers to point to the new host. If you wish to remove it from WordPress.com and transfer the domain to another registrar, you can do that as well. For reference, you can read the support document on cancelling a domain at https://en.support.wordpress.com/cancel-domain/.

  Overall, it’s better to point it to the new host or transfer it over to them. If you still wish to cancel it, you can go to https://wordpress.com/purchases and cancel it.
