  Hi,

  You can follow the below steps to change the site address:

  1. Go to My Site → Domains and click on your .home.blog address.
  2. Scroll Down to Change Site Address section, select “.wordpress.com” instead of “.home.blog”.
  3. Enter your new site address and hit the “Change Site Address” button.

  For more details , you can check the link below:

  Change a Site Address

  Note: once you change your site address, your old site address will be unavailable.

  Hope this helps :)

  Hi there @czechmemories and @poojashetty18, it is not possible to use the “changing site address” utility to change .home.blog to a .wordpress.com address. That utility can only be used to change from one .wordpress.com address to another .wordpress.com address.

  You’ll need to create a new website at https://wordpress.com/start and at the first screen where it asks what your site is about, just click CONTINUE without filling out anything. That should give you the .wordpress.com site option on the next screen.

  
  @czechmemories If you have already started your .home.blog, you can export your content and then import it to your new .wordpress.com site. See here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-site-address/#changing-your-site-address-to-one-you-already-own

  Let us know how that goes.

  If you already have subscribers on your .home.blog, let us know so we can request Staff to move them for you.
