trouble with account
-
hi, I would like to change the domain name without having to close the account and start a new one, how do I do this?

Hi there,
Domain names can’t be changed once they’re registered. If you misspelled or otherwise need to change a domain, you can cancel it within the 96-hour cancellation window. From there, you can register a new, correct domain name for your site through your domains page. If you purchased domain mapping and misspelled your domain during this process, you can cancel and refund within 30 days. Outside of that window, please contact support.
Once you change the “example” part of example.wordpress.com, the old address will stop working.
You can see this and the rest of the topic on domain names at https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/.
Also read https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/.If you want to get support from staff in terms of changing a domain name, please provide the current URL of your site and what you wish to change it to.
I hope this helps!
