  I purchased a $99 value bundle for my blog and in doing so also bought a domain name. I’ve soured to the URL quite badly though, so I was wondering if there was a way I could keep the bundle and domain but change the URL?

  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  Regards,

  Lloyd

  If I have to pay another 18 dollars a year for the new URL, that’s fine, but the bundle is what I am most wanting to keep – cheers

  Please be patient. Staff is needed to assist you: this is a weekend but they will help as soon as they can. Bumping your topic after only a few minutes is not productive.

  This thread has been tagged with “modlook” so staff will find your question.

  As far as I could tell I couldnt change mine. I tried to return it to by a new one but it was passed the 2 days. Granted, I did it on the weekend and didn’t have staff help cause it couldn’t wait!

  You really just need to buy a new domain name for $5. Your mapping upgrade is still fine, and you can just map the new domain to the blog.

  On your Store dashboard page, buy a new domain. Then just set that domain to be primary.
