Hi there!
I’m happy to take a look and help out.
What is the domain name that you want to register?
I didn’t realise until I tried finding my blog on Google that someone has the same name already so wanted to change it but now unable to unless I pay.
Do you want to change the name of your free website jjustploddingalong.home.blog?We have a support document to help in changing the site address-
You’re only required to pay for a plan if you want to add a custom domain to your website.

Closing the account is not going to help. If you close the account you’ll lose your website justploddingalong.home.blog and it would be unrecoverable after 30 day period and you would never be able to use the same address again.
I hope this helps clarify things. Feel free to get back if you have questions.

Tried to follow link to change it but can’t. The domains section doesn’t exist? I just wish to change beginning of web address. Thanks!

You’ll find the Domains section at the bottom of the left sidebar when you click on My Site(s).
