  Hello!

  I don’t have the bank account that is needed to buy the domain. Is there any possibility to do it with my bank account SWEDBANK?
  And the other question, if I buy the domain, how can i change the name from “Akiusviesa.com” to another? (I dont want to create the new one blog)

  Best regards,
  Aurelija

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

  Below are the only accepted means of payment.

  WordPress.com uses PayPal as the payment processor, and as such, can only accept payment from countries they support: https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/

  If for whatever reason, they have chosen to block payment from your country, you will not be able to purchase an upgrade here unless you have a source of payment outside of your country.

  In addition to major credit cards Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover, and PayPal https://www.paypal.com/worldwide/ WordPress.com can accept echecks and some debit cards.

  The debit card must have a VISA or Mastercard symbol on it, and should work just like a credit card when selecting the VISA or Mastercard option on the payment form, even though it’s a debit card.

  More about echecks here:

  WordPress.com also accept Bitcoin for payment of certain upgrades ( bitcoin cannot be used for domain and premium theme purchases) – you can learn more here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/pay-another-way-bitcoin/

  The content remains exactly where it is and all that changes is the URL. Read more here > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/04/02/do-i-need-a-domain/

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from. Please be clear on that.

  As you now have that underlying .wordpress.com blog you can proceed to purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
