  Hello,

  I am trying to switch over a .com domain over to a .org site without carrying over anything from the .com site. I just want the name, nothing else. Currently, the .org site has defaulted to the hostname of my computer, which is not an appropriate name for a website.

  It is also important to note that the domain was purchased directly from WordPress.com itself.

  The Domain is (email visible only to moderators and staff).

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