  When creating my blog, I wanted to buy the $99 value bundle and register the domain stylelot.com, but wasn’t able to pay on the spot so it changed it to stylelotdotcom.wordpress.com > why did this happen and is there anyway to change it to stylelot.com which is what I signed up as originally…

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  PS: stylelot.com has been registered for several years – is that your domain name?

  Thank you for your incredibly fast responses!

  That was supposed to be my domain name – i don’t understand what happened because I am certain it hadn’t been taken, but that is certainly not my blog.

  Not sure if I can do anything from here …!

  The domain stylelot.com is already registered (by someone else?). See http://whois.domaintools.com/stylelot.com

  To change a blog URL ending in wordpress.com, please follow these steps.

  Or you can register a different domain like stylelot.me or stylelot.org 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.

  Let us know if you need any help.
