Changing website name
-
I recently found out that truebluefans.com has become available and would like to drop the .org and pick up .com. I have tried to do it but it’s saying that I have to register the site. Please don’t tell me there isn’t a way to change the name of a site that you have already registered and pay for without having to pay for another one. Can anyone help me please.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m sorry, but custom domains can’t be changed. That’s not a WordPress rule, but just how it works across the internet. If you want the .com domain you’ll need to register it and map it to your blog. Keep in mind you can own both the .org and .com domains and have both point to your blog. Under Store ->My domains you can then set which one should be your primary domain.

I’d be happy to cancel truebluefans.org for you.
Before I proceed, there are a few points I need to cover.
If we cancel your domain, it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and we can’t guarantee that your domain will be available to you again, once canceled.
If you want to keep using your domain, but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you don’t have to cancel it. Instead, you can move the domain to another site, using the Domain Administration tool under Store > Domains, at the bottom of the page.
For more information on using the domain elsewhere, please see:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/
Afterwards, you can add truebluefans.com to your site. There will be no additional charge.
Once you confirm how you’d like to proceed, I will get started processing your transaction :-)

I will continue to use truebluefans.org for right now but will more than likely in the coming week buy the .com domain as well. I will just redirect all traffic from .org to .com. Thank you for letting me know

Understood.
If you have any other questions regarding WordPress.com, please let us know :-)
