  Hi there,

  No if you upgrade to WordPress.cm Premium your URL will not change. A custom domain is offered as a part of WordPress.com Premium, but you don’t have to use it. Please note that even if you do add it, whenever your readers go to the address with “.wordpress.com” at the end, they will automatically be redirected to your custom domain. So, you technically wouldn’t have to change anything. However, if possible it would be best to change your business cards to the custom domain in the future if you plan on keeping the domain name.

  You can read more about WordPress.com Premium here.

  If you don’t want to deal with that, you do not have to get a custom domain name. It’s entirely up to you. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to reach out!

  Cheers!
