  This is my paid-for website associated with my google account (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  This google account will expire when my contract ends and so I would like to switch my paid for website (that I pay for) to (email visible only to moderators and staff).

  Can you help?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  You can just update the email address on file for the other account. You can do this from the account settings screen at https://wordpress.com/me/account

  You can also use Gmail’s built-in alias feature to do this without needing a second email account: if you just remove the period from your email our system will see it as a different email, but Gmail will still see it as the same. Or else you can add +education, or something after your Gmail username (i.e. before the @), for the same effect.

  If you still prefer to transfer the site to this account, log into the other account, and then follow these steps to transfer ownership:

  Doing this will also automatically transfer your Premium Plan to this account.
