  I have just upgraded to business, and I need to choose a custom domain name (without wordpress.com). After I have chosen a domain name, will I be able to change it? And would such a change cost anything?

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

  Hi there,

  Domains are registered for a year at a time and cannot be edited once they are registered. The only way to change a custom domain is to replace it with a new domain.

  You will have to pay the cost of new domain.

  Hi there,

  In a nutshell, yes. What this means is that you must cancel your current domain and then use the free domain credit that comes with your plan to register another one. Also, you can keep your current domain and register an additional one for $13.

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
