  I wanted my blog URL to be http://www.SandeepManudhane.org
  Instead, it has become sandeepmanudharorg.wordpress.com

  Please help rectify it.

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

  Hi – there is already a site hosted at the URL http://SandeepManudhane.org. Do you own this site? If so, do you wish to move this site over to WordPress.com? This information would help us guide you further.

  As for the address “sandeepmanudhaneorg.wordpress.com”, you can change it any time by changing your site address. The changed address will still have the “.wordpress.com” part. More instructions can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  If you wish to add a custom domain (i.e., without having the “.wordpress.com”) you need to purchase a domain for your site. This page offers you more details about domains: https://en.support.wordpress.com/all-about-domains/

  Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems your current site is not powered by WordPress.

  There are two versions of WordPress – a self-hosted version and a version hosted by WordPress.com. Read more about these two versions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you want to link your domain to your WordPress.com site, you will need a Premium/Business plan. Read more about this here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Alternatively, since you already have a domain name and a host, you can choose to use a self-hosted version of WordPress. You can ask your existing host for support if you wish to install WordPress on your account, or if you’re comfortable doing it yourself, get started by visiting http://wordpress.org.
