  • Hi there,

    Have you checked out this guide?

  • Hi there,

    It looks like you cancelled your domain on the 23rd. If you cancel a domain you no longer own it, so there is no way to transfer that domain to Bluehost now.

    As you cancelled on the same day you registered it, your domain should be released again later this week, at which time you can register it directly with Bluehost.

    Hello I already own 2 domaine names…. And I also made a free website on WordPress… How do I map my domain name to my website?

    Please don’t hijack existing threads by asking unrelated questions in them.

    You can find instructions how to connect an existing domain to a WordPress.com site here:

    Hello. I also want to change domain, from the current general-box.com to thoughtskatcher.com. I have read a few articles on the net, but when i go to General Settings, I do not have (as it seems i should) the two lines indication Site URL and the WordPress URL, where I could change the name..
    As such, I do not know how to go about, any suggestions?

    Did you read my reply above asking not to hijack threads started by other users and to start your own instead?

    The articles you read online apply only to self-hosted sites using WordPress.org. To change your domain on WordPress.com I need to cancel it, and then you need to register the new domain again.

    Please note that if I cancel general-box.com it might not become available immediately, and you might not be able to later register it somewhere else. Please confirm if you’re sure you want to cancel that domain.

    Also note that we can only change the domain while it’s still in the refund period of 48 hours. As you bought that domain on 24 December, I’m only able to still help you switch it if you reply to confirm today.

    I am sorry, I am not familiar with forums and I probably wrongly understood.
    Anyhow, yes, I would like to delete general-box.com and replace it with thoughtskatcher.com, keeping the same design and costumization if possible. If the operation can be done simply and with no added costs, than I would be happy to do it.
    Thank you.

    I have cancelled the domain and restored the free domain credit in your plan. You can add the new domain by going to My Site ->Domains.

    As we cancelled the domain still within the refund period, there is no additional cost to register a new domain – you’ll use the free domain included in your plan.
