  Hello,
  Trust you are well. I created this wordpress account in 2018 and it has been inactive. I would like to change the domain name entirely to a new domain name. How do I go about this please?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  Are you wanting to keep the “wordpress.com” at the end?

  If you want your own domain, such as “www.mycoolsite.com” you can purchase a domain and attach it to your site. Here is how it’s done.

  If you want to keep the “wordpress.com” portion, you can change the site address. Here is how that’s done.

  I hope that helps :)

  Cheers,
  Eric

  Hi @mylagosnawa,

  To add to what @ericfri noted, a one-year free domain registration is included with a plan upgrade, should you wish to register a custom domain.

  If you’re interested in that, you can review plan pricing and features here: https://wordpress.com/free/#plans
