  I registered for a domain name, but I would like to free it up so that I can use it for another blog.

  How do I free it up so that it is no longer in use with wordpress.com?

  Thanks!

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

  You need to update the domain’s name servers.

  If you can post the domain name in question, that would be helpful. If you prefer not to do so, please tell us if you registered the domain from us (domain registration is separate from domain mapping) or another domain registrar.

  1. Find out the name server information of your new hosting service.

  2. Edit the name servers. For domains registered with us, here is the instruction.
