  I purchased a domain name yesterday and now want to change that name. I know how to change to .wordpress.com name but can’t figure out if it’s possible to change the .com address which I paid for without paying again? Alternatively, would it be possible to get a refund?

  Thanks very much.

  Hi there. You’ll need to cancel the domain name and register a new one. As it’s been less than 48 hours you should still be able to cancel it yourself. See here for instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/cancel-domain/

  Note that after cancelling the domain you might not be able to re-register it if you decide you want it back again. Also note that it can take up to two weeks for the refund to appear on your credit card statement.

  Let us know if you need more help with this.
