  Hi Oliver,

  You can edit your domain’s settings under Store > My Domains in your site’s dashboard here:

  https://mastercush.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  However, there is a 60-day lock on newly registered domains (mandated by ICANN). That means you’ll need to wait 60 days after you registered the domain to transfer it to a new domain registrar. However, in the meantime you can point the domain to your new host by changing the domain’s name servers.

  We have a guide for moving your domain here: Move Your Domain to Another Host

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)
