  Hello and good day to you.
  I am thinking about changing my domain name and buying a 18 Euros/year domain, so that xxxxx.wordpress.com stops showing, but I have an important question.
  If I change my site’s domain name, will it lose the ranking it previously had in SEO? I have the site running for some months and it has a pretty good ranking in google search, so I am afraid that if I change the domain’s name I will lose my ranking.
  Thank you in advance for your answer.

  Hi, nope this shouldn’t affect ranking, in fact we’ll redirect the old address to the new one and tell search engines about the change.

  Please be advised though, you will need a paid plan for this to work. The personal plan would do nicely.
