My domain
-
Hey,
I opened a new blog with a premium upgrade. At the first page, I called it “postcredits” with a “.net” ending, and it said the URL is available. I finished registering and started customizing, when suddenly I saw that for some reason my site URL is postcreditsdotnet1.wordpress.com. That’s nowhere near the one I picked. And when I type “postcredits.net” in the domains page, it still says it’s available…(typing it in the address bar gets nothing). Do I need to cancel the Premium and re-do it or can I fix it somehow? I was already charged for the premium, so I would appreciate getting an answer as quickly as possible.
Sincerely,
Matan
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there Matan,
It sounds as if you attempted to register your domain name in the area designated for registration of a WordPress.com site name. This is easily remedied.
First, you can opt to adjust your WordPress.com site name (http://postcreditsdotnet1.wordpress.com/) if you’d like. You will be the only one who sees this site name, as you will be adding a custom domain name. However, you are still required to have a WordPress.com site name. Here’s the explanation why:
These are instructions to change your WordPress.com site name:

Now, you can add your custom domain name (postcredits.net) if it’s available. You can do so by clicking the link below:
https://postcreditsdotnet1.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domainsClick the Register a New Domain Name button, and follow the instructions given.
That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)
