  I made a typo in my domain name which I didn’t spot until it was too late. It should say: theworldismylobster. Instead it says: theworldismylobser. Is there a way to change this? Hope you can help.

  Unfortunately, you cannot change a domain’s spelling after you have purchased it.

  If it’s been two days (or less) since you purchased this domain, you can cancel it and get a full refund. For more details, visit this page:

  As for the correct domain, you will have to register it separately, i.e., you need not wait until this misspelled domain is canceled.

  staff-zinnia: Thanks for correcting my error! Since the OP said “domain name” I assumed that it referred to the domain name and not the blog address. I should have noticed the blog address at the bottom of the post.

  @theworldismylobsTer: please ignore my previous post :)
