    Hi there,

    Domain names can’t be changed once they’re registered. If you misspelled or otherwise need to change a domain, you can cancel it within the 96-hour cancellation window. From there, you can register a new, correct domain name for your site through your domains page. If you purchased domain mapping and misspelled your domain during this process, you can cancel and refund within 30 days.
    Once you change the “example” part of example.wordpress.com, the old address will stop working.
    You can see this and the rest of the topic on domain names at https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/.
    Also read https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/.

    I’ve tagged this thread for staff in case you need to contact them.

    You can make your site private by going to My Site > Manage > Settings, scroll down to Privacy, change the setting to ‘Private’ and clicking Save settings.
    There’s a support post on this:

    I hope this helps!

  • Hi there,

    It looks like you are referring to your .wordpress.com subdomain.

    You can change your blog address by going to WordPress.com dashboard, and clicking Manage > Domains, click the blog you want to update, and then under Change Site Address, add the new address in the field. As @writer0001 noted, please note that the old address will not be available for use again.

    For detailed instructions/information on changing your blog name, please visit our support document:

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!
