  Hi there,

  When you register a domain, you are purchasing that exact domain name to use with your blog. If the domain is misspelled or you want to change it, you can cancel it and register the correct domain name. (You can cancel a new domain for a full refund within 48 hours after you purchase it.)

  You can cancel a domain with the “Cancel and Refund” link under Store > My Upgrades in your site’s dashboard here:

  https://alkalineyogi.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades

  Then, you can register the correct domain as a new domain: Register a New Domain

  You can also read more about that here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/#typos

  Unfortunately, it looks like the domain you want is already registered. You can see the publicly available information about the domain AlkalineYogi.com here:

  http://who.is/whois/AlkalineYogi.com

  You might want to consider registering a variation of that domain name, like AlkalineYogi.co, instead. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that.

  Excellent!

  Thank you Rachel,

  I just followed your advise to cancel and I got refunded immediately on my paypal and found TheAlkalineYogi.com, (same as my twitter and FB page) so I registered that domain now. Thanks again for your help.
