  Hi there. You can’t change a custom domain, only register a new one and optionally cancel the old one.

  If you want to change the underlying WordPress.com domain, the instructions for that are here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/ Note that if you had previously deleted the old address, you won’t be able to change back to it. Deleted URLs are gone and cannot be re-registered, even by the original owner: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Changing the WordPress.com address does not delete your content, but merely moves it to a different URL.
