  Change from .com to .de

  Hello :)
  A few people told me that unfortunately it’s not possible to find my blog in Germany. Because if you ask google to search for a blog like mine, it will just show you at first the german .de sites. It would be great for me to change from .com to .de to have a chance to be found in Germany. Is that possible?
  Thanks ahead for your help :)

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

  Yes, it is possible to register a .de URL with WordPress.com but it requires staff intervention. I will flag this for their attention.

  I personally think you’re WAY better off with .com but if you want .de too, it can be done.

  The following page lists all of the custom domain extensions/TLDs you can register through WordPress.com:

  For other TLDs such as .de, you will need to work with a domain registrar that provides registration for that TLD and then purchase domain mapping to point the domain to your WordPress.com site.
