  Hi,

  If you want to change the title of the site, which is the text displayed in the title bar of a web browser and in the header of most themes, you can do so under My Site → Customizer → Site Identity. This changes the ‘example’ part of example.wordpress.com.

  If you want to alter the wordpress.com part of your site address, then you need to upgrade to a Custom Domain by visiting the Domains page.

  Change a Site Address

  ——–

  If you misspelled a domain, you can cancel it within the 48 hour cancellation window. From there, you can register a new, correct domain name for your site through your domains page:
  https://wordpress.com/domains/manage

  You can read more about domains here: 
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/

  Hope this helps :)

  Hello there, if you want to map a domain you already own through Google, you’ll need one of our upgrade plans https://wordpress.com/pricing/ which includes a domain credit.

  To the best of my knowledge it isn’t possible to map a domain as a standalone upgrade but the flow from this page https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-site-address/ isn’t very clear to me, so I’ve tagged this thread for Staff attention as well.

  Adding domain mapping via the Change Address flow is exactly the same as adding it via My Site ->Domains – if you add a custom domain as the address you want to use, the Premium Plan will be added automatically at checkout if no other plan is already selected.

  Thanks @kokkieh.

  Here’s what happened. Following that support guide, I clicked on “visiting the Domains page” where I selected ablogdemo, my free test site, and then saw:

  Already own a domain?
  You can use it as your site’s address.

  Then I clicked on “Use a domain I own”, clicked on “Buy domain mapping” and added a domain I own and clicked “Add.” That brought me to the payment screen where the cart shows $13 and where I need to add my payment details, which I did not do, but the button shows “Pay $13.”

  At what point does the cart change it to the Premium plan upgrade? Thanks again.

  @justjennifer,

  It won’t automatically add a plan for you, because your account is still able to buy stand-alone domain upgrades.

  Oh! 😳

  That will teach me to use a different account when testing! LOL
