  Good afternoon,
  My current site title is ‘panlnl.wordpress.com’. Is there a possibility to have ‘panl.nl’ as site title (without the mentioning of WordPress)? If yes, what is needed to make this change?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  I see that you have added a domain connection to panl.nl under your account. This is used to connect WordPress.com with a domain that you own elsewhere.

  However, I noticed that the domain panl.nl is already owned by someone else. I see a message about this when I go to panl.nl. With this in mind, it is not possible to set your site address to panl.nl. To do that you would need to contact the current owner of the domain and purchase it form them directly.

  With this in mind, if you wish to pick a different domain name you can do that here: https://wordpress.com/domains/add/
  
  A free domain (for the first year) is included in your Premium plan so as long as you pick a domain name that is available and not already taken you will be able to set that as the address of your site.

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
