  Hi!

  I had bought this domain letstrycreating.com few months back on wordpress, I am aware that I could have asked for a refund within 48hours of purchase of the domain.

  However it’s now I need to change my domain name from letstrycreating.com to another name, how can I do that?

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

  The first step is to actually purchase a new domain name through WordPress.com. Just go to Store → Domains and then search for a new domain to add.

  Once it’s in your WordPress.com account, go back to Store → Domains and check the radio button next to your new domain and click Update Primary Domain.

  All of your old posts at letstrycreating.com will be redirected to the same post on newdomain.com – but social media share counts are on the specific URL so these will reset back to zero.

  Check out the Domains section of the support site for more information: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
