  Hey there
  I realized that my domain name is way too long (even without the ‘.wordpress’). How can I change that domain name before I upgrade? Because I want to upgrade. But not with that long domain name.

  Thanks for any help. Best regards

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there!

  It depends on what you’re looking to do!

  1. If you want to change your free medicalmediumfanpage.wordpress.com site address, you can do so by following the instructions here: https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/

  2. If you plan on registering a custom domain name that would take the place of your free medicalmediumfanpage.wordpress.com site address, you don’t need to change the free URL first – simply register the domain of your choosing after upgrading to our Pro plan and that will take the place of your free site address.

  Let us know if you have any other questions!
