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

  Hi there. I’m afraid it’s not possible to change a custom domain. Custom domains are registered for a year at a time, and while you can cancel it, you can’t change it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/

  All you can do it to register the new domain as well and map it to your WordPress.com address, as you did with the old domain. You will need to pay the full cost of registering a new domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/

  As for the old domain, you can leave it until it expires (you can have more than one domain pointed to your site – just set the new one as your primary domain), or you can cancel it right away if you prefer.

  If you’d like to cancel your domain, you can confirm it in this thread and add “modlook” to the tags. Then wait for a staff response.

  Hi @apaal87,

  I’ve cancelled the domain leanandhustle.com from your account and added $26 in credits. You should be able to register the domain startuppaal.com at no additional cost following the steps here:

  Thanks Jeremy. I was told that I had to register a new domain so I registered paalborg.com yesterday morning and already paid the additional $26…

  Is there any way I can get a refund for this?

  Thanks for your help.

  It looks like your registered paalborg.com for $18 (without the private registration). I went ahead and refunded your $26 charge from the original domain.

  Let me know if you need anything else!
