    Hi @booksonaspergersyndrome,

    Upgrading your plan from Free to Business does not change the blog address. You can upgrade any plan as per your convenience. From your dashboard, you can just go to MySites->Plans. You would be able to upgrade your free plan from this page. You should be able to use your current free domain with the plan.

    You also get a Custom Domain with each paid plan. You have the option to use your existing domain and also register a new custom domain. You can learn more about Domains here:
