Hi there,
If your client uses a website hosted by WordPress.com then you can change your blog address by following these instructions:
– Go to My Sites>Domains
– Click on your domain and then Edit Site Address
– Click on Change Blog Address
– Type the new domain name you wish to have.Refer this documentation:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/Note: Don’t forget to read the warnings. You won’t get your old domain name back. This can’t be reversed.
If your client has a domain name similar to xyz.wordpress.com and wants xyz.com then you need to buy an Upgrade plan for having a custom domain name.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Thanks for the reply!
I followed exactly those steps earlier but the problem is that she has bought a domain name on godaddy, and she wants the same on wordpress. We are currently opting for to start off with the wordpress free plan and hence that does not allow to map the domain name.
And if I am altering the domain name in wordpress, it shows that, the domain name is taken.
Thanks,

To use existing domain name with WordPress.com you can opt for domain mapping. All you have to do is point your DNS (Domain Name Servers) to WordPress.com.Follow the instructions step by step
https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/But yes, to map your existing domain it is mandatory that you purchase either of Personal, Premium or Business upgrade plan.
And if I am altering the domain name in wordpress, it shows that, the domain name is taken.
Once a domain name is registered, it can’t be claimed again until it’s expiration period.
Let me know if you need further assistance with this.
