  Hi,

  I have a handle registered with Gandi (mac5personalfitness.co.uk that currently points to a moon fruit site) and a wordpress site (mac5personalfitness.wordpress.com). I want to change the wordpress site address to mac5personalfitness.co.uk There is also an email account associated with the handle which I need to keep. Also, is it possible that visitors see the mac5personalfitness.co.uk name in the address bar and not mac5personalfitness.wordpress.com. Is this possible?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello!
  Yes, by domain mapping your visitors will not see the WordPress part.

  You can purchase the domain name through WordPress or your favorite Domain Registrar. If you purchase it through a non-WordPress registrar you will need domain mapping. If buy it via WordPress it will automatically show-up.

  For email:
  1. You can use full email hosting elsewhere and link it to your domain
