Hi WordPress,
If I purchase a custom domain and remap it to my blog, it won’t have any effect on my subscribers, will it? I won’t lose them, will I?
Thanks!
Tammy

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

Hi,

Your subscribers will not be affected.

When you connect a custom domain, like nickywellsauthor.com, to your WordPress.com site, your .wordpress.com address will still bring visitors to your site and previous links won’t break.

For example, visitors to nickywellsklippert.wordpress.com would still be taken to your site, but the address that would appear in the address bar would be your custom domain, nickywellsauthor.com. Since you would only be changing your site’s address, but not moving the site itself, your subscribers, followers, and your blog content would all remain the same :)
