    If I don’t renew my wordpress domain, will it redirect to the new URL?

    At the moment, I own the URL http://www.thelondonscrapbook.com, but I’ve created a new WP URL (just for context, because it’s no longer about London) http://www.bloggedbyanna.wordpress.com. Latter is the primary domain. Former redirects to latter.

    So, 2 questions:

    – If I don’t renew thelondonscrapbook.com, will it turn into thelondonscrapbook.wordpress.com and continue to redirect to bloggedbyanna.wordpress.com? I’m worried where I’ve littered the internet with thelondonscrapbook.com, those links will no longer work.

    – I want to buy the URL bloggedbyanna.com so when the time comes when I own this, but not thelondonscrapbook.com, will my site stats remain? I’m assuming the stats are associated with my site, rather than the URL, but I’d like this confirming.

    Thank you and apologies for the numerous, confusing URLs.

    Hi there!

    If I don’t renew thelondonscrapbook.com, will it turn into thelondonscrapbook.wordpress.com and continue to redirect to bloggedbyanna.wordpress.com? I’m worried where I’ve littered the internet with thelondonscrapbook.com, those links will no longer work.

    If you let the domain thelondonscrapbook.com expire, your blog will be available at bloggedbyanna.wordpress.com. The links that are posted around the web to thelondonscrapbook.com will stop working. If you’d like to keep them working, you can keep the domain thelondonscrapbook.com and redirect it to your active site.

    I want to buy the URL bloggedbyanna.com so when the time comes when I own this, but not thelondonscrapbook.com, will my site stats remain? I’m assuming the stats are associated with my site, rather than the URL, but I’d like this confirming.

    Your stats are connected to your WordPress.com site (bloggedbyanna.wordpress.com) not your specific domain, so all of your stats will remain.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
