You cannot change the domain name, order a new domain name of your choice. do not renew the old one if you no longer want to use the name. Best of luck.

You can't change a domain name. What you can do is to buy the new domain and redirect the old one to the new one.

If they have money back guarantee you can use that to purchase another.

You may also need to pay a token for your host to change our domain in your hosting account.

Thanks all for your answers, since my first domain Name was free with syskay, i just hope they'll allow me to own this one.

Please after buying the new domain name, how do i "redirect" the new one to the old one? (sorry for asking a dumb question).
Re: How Do I Change My Domain Name? by Afam4eva(m): 7:02pm On Feb 08, 2012
Yo can do that in your hosting control panel. Login and go to www redirects and provide the domain you're redirecting to.

@ OP. I am exactly sure that you can change your domain name without redirecting it to a new domain. I recently changed my domain name. All you got to do is to tell your host provider that you will like to change it, and I am sure they will do it for free. It only took less than 2 hours for mine to be changed.
