Hi,
I'd like to upgrade and register a domain with WordPress but before I do I need to know if in that case I'll finally be able to use a "." , "-" or "_" in the domain name, because this is necessary and annoying that we can't do it with a .wordpress.com address.
Thanks!
The blog I need help with is gxplanguageservices.wordpress.com.
Such as?
You can, for instance, have whatever.something.com but you can't have what.ever or this.url.is.extra.super.fancy or whatever_.com
For example gxp.language.services.com - the upgrade is not for that blog, but for another WordPress.com blog that I haven't made public yet, but it's the same idea.
Ok, so you confirm i can have conference.germany.com for example?
That would be only 2 words that need to be separated in the URL, either by a dot or by a hyphen - that does not matter.
If you actually own germany.com then you can, otherwise no. The only reason you can have a URL with two .'s in it is if one is a subdomain of the larger domain, like germany.com.
And no hyphens in WP.com blog URLs as far as I'm aware.
Ooooooook I understand.
Thanks for the clarification about hypens - and thanks for your time and your answer! :)
