  To change a blog URL ending in wordpress.com, please follow these steps. Another alternative is to purchase a custom domain name to take “wordpress” out of the domain altogether.

  What’s the domain address you are referring to? I don’t see any domain registration or mapping upgrade under your account.

  I was going to buy a domain from a trusted seller. I wanted to know if it was possible before I bought it

  I see. And do you want to map that domain to your WordPress.com blog? Please explain your question in more detail.

  Yes. After I move the domain to my site, can I change the URL of it?

  It’s not possible to change a domain address once it’s been registered. You can easily register a different domain name at Store > Domains on your blog’s dashboard and follow the steps there.

  Please take a look at the following guide before going through the process.
