Changing my blog domain

My Blog domain rebelle-rebelle-ution.com is due for renewal in July is it possible to change my domain name to rebelle-ution.com and keep the content? I also currently own rebelle-ution.com through another provider but I would like to register it with wordpress from july. I hope this makes sense
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That is perfect thank you. My domain doesn’t need to be renewed until june but I said I’d ask in time. Thank you for your assistance

Hi @rebellehaze
Is it possible to change my domain name to rebelle-ution.com and keep the content
Yep! You can map that domain you already own through the steps here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Then, we can make sure the old domain does not renew automatically (provided you do not want it). That way, after August 11th (when the current domain expires), you’ll be left with just rebelle-ution.com.
I also currently own rebelle-ution.com through another provider but I would like to register it with wordpress from july.
We don’t accept incoming domain transfers so it wouldn’t be possible to transfer the domain to WordPress.com (without going through a messy process). The best method is to keep it registered at the current registrar and map it following the steps above. Can you give that a try?
