  I bought lewebcomptoir.com few weeks ago. But I’d like to change the domain name for alinechene.com. How can I do that? Thank you.

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

  At any time, you can add a new custom domain to your site here:

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

  Register a New Domain

  Also, if you’re no longer interested in it, I’d be happy to cancel lewebcomptoir.com for you.

  Before I proceed, there are a few points I need to cover.

  If we cancel your domain, it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and we can’t guarantee that your domain will be available to you again, once canceled.

  If you want to keep using your domain, but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you don’t have to cancel it. Instead, you can move the domain to another site, using the Domain Administration tool under Store > Domains, at the bottom of the page.

  For more information on using the domain elsewhere, please see:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

  Once you confirm how you’d like to proceed, I will get started processing your transaction :-)

  No I really want to keep my lewebcomptoir.com! But I have a blog on blogspot that I want to change : lewebcomptoir.blogspot.com for lewebcomptoir.com (that I bought with wordpress). And I’d like to have another blog alinechene.wordpress.com (I may change it for alinechene.com later). How can I moove lewebcomptoir.com (wordpress) on the blogspot without loosing all the …. how you call that, links I have with google since 4 years? I used alinechene.wordpress.com that I just cancelled but now, it’s no longer available. Is it definitive? SOrry I have a lot of questions ;-)

  The guide below explains how to transfer the domain name to another registrar, including how to access the authorization (EPP) code:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  Alternatively, you can point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  Also, the following resources may assist you:
