  I would like to change my URL from http://www.frenchhatchingcat.com to http://www.hatchingcatNYC.com — I also want to transfer all my content, links, followers, etc. to the new URL. How do I do this?

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

  Hi there,

  You own the custom domain name frenchhatchingcat.com. When you purchase a domain name, you’re registering that exact name to use with your site.

  There isn’t a way to change the domain name itself (since you’ve registered that exact name), but you’re welcome to register a new domain with the new domain name you’d like to start using. You can do that from your Domains page.

  As part of the process, you can choose what site you want to use that domain name with. You can choose your frenchhatchingcat.com site (you’re welcome to have two domains or more linked to the same site) and it will add that new domain name to your site for you. If you do that, you won’t need to worry about transferring the content, followers, etc — it will just add that new domain name to your existing site.

  Please let me know if you have any questions about that. :)
