  If you change the Primary Domain of your site, you will not lose any followers and they will continue to receive notifications, as usual.

  Let us know if you have any more questions :-)

  What is meant by the primary domain? Is that the address? Is the address the same as the URL?

  Yes, exactly.

  For example, if you had a site that was johnsmith.wordpress.com and you changed it to johnandreson.wordpress.com, your followers would continue to receive notifications.

  In addition, if you had a site that was johnsmith.wordpress.com and you decided to upgrade to a johnsmith.com custom domain, your followers would also continue to receive notifications.

  Does that make sense?
