Multiple Domain upgrade purchases
-
I purchased a domain upgrade recently and mapped my blog to it.
It is working smoothly.However, I am considering changing the name with a new domain upgrade.
Will that create problem?
Will both my first (danielberhane.wordpress.com) and my second & current (danielberhane.com) urls be mapped to the third domain I might purchase?
And, will that cost me other than the 18 dollars I shall pay for the new domain?Thanx.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Every domain mapping upgrade is a separate annual subscription for a single blog only. Please read the Domains section links on this page very carefully http://en.support.wordpress.com/category/upgrades/

Timethief.
I am talking about a single blog which is to get a new url for the 2nd time.
Anyways, I read this in the support page:
“Your domain exists independently of your site, however. You can use your domain with another site, or you can cancel it, or you can let it expire, and through all of that, your site with all of its content remains unchanged.”
Does that mean there won’t be problem changing my blog’s name again?

Let me call that just buying another domain.
Buying another domain doesn’ t exactly means changing its name. My blog has two domains and a .wordpress.com name, and I can reach it from anyone of them. When you buy the second domain upgrade (yes, that means you should pay again) ,on the page of domain upgrades, you can choose one of them as your primary domain. After you choose your primary domain, when you enter one of your blog’ s links to the browser, the link will change to your primary domain after 4-5 seconds. So there won’ t be problem buying another domain. -
Thank you for your reply.
But I still have one question.As I said, I have two domains (danielberhane.wordpress.com and danielberhane.com). And, I am about to purchase a third domain.
Can I have the first (the wordpress.com) domain and the third new domain direct to my current blog, while the second domain direct to a new blog I am going to start?
Thank you very much.

Upgrades apply to the blogs from which they were purchased, so if you didn’t purchase that one URL from the blog you now want to connect with it, you might have a problem.
-
As I am decided to shift to a new (third) domain, what do I do with the second domain?
Can I simply ignore it when the next pay time comes?
What other options do I have? -
P.s. – I don’t wish to throw away the second domain name, as much as I want a new domain name for the current blog.

@Danielberhane:
I think what you need to do is:
1. First go ahead and create your new blog
2. Then unmap danielberhane.com from the your first blog
3. Then map danielberhane.com the newly created blog. You will pay for for this upgrade. -
