  I want to change my domain name and add email service but I want to keep all of my current content. Do I have to start over or can I just change the name without having to start a new account?

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

  Hi there,

  You can change your blog address by going to My Blogs, and clicking the Change Blog Address link that appears when you hover over the address you want to change:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/

  Note that you have the option to choose your user name to match the new blog address. If you choose this option, you will not be able to revert back to the original username, and it can affect profile URLs for other services such as Gravatar or IntenseDebate.

  For detailed instructions/information on changing your blog name, please visit our support document:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  If you are referring to changing your custom domain, all you would need to do is register a new domain with us and make it the primary domain.

  Feel free to contact us if you have any other questions. Thanks!
