  I tried changing my domain name through the settings with a newly purchased domain name and now I don’t see my website anywhere.

  Hi there,

  Your site is not hosted with us on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software at another host.

  Changing the domain on a stand-alone WordPress site like yours has to follow a specific process. You can find the documentation for that process here, though many hosting providers have their own process for this via their hosting control panel.

  Depending on your setup, you might be able to fix this yourself using those instructions. If not, please contact your hosting provider directly for help.
