Changing domain name.

Hello, i purchased a domain through namecheap.com, which led me eventually to word press for hosting. However I since then have come up with a new domain to register, and I wanted to know If there was a way to change that directly through wordpress?
WP.com: Yes
Correct account: YesThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
To make your new domain work on WP.com, you’ll need to do the following:
1.) On NameCheap.com, make the domain name server records point to WordPress.com.
(your domain registrar, in your case NameCheap.com, should have instructions for doing this or you can contact their support)

Hi there!
Before you actually change the nameservers, you’d need to first connect the domain to your WordPress.com site:
https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/.
Please note that you will need one of our paid plans to do that. You can read more about our plans here:

Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
