hey hi Eric & welcome to Wealthy Affiliate starter!

Good question and all questions are good ones here!

No panic -- with your WA free starter membership, you've got two free site-rubix (sub-domains) to work with ....

so the short answer is yes, you can delete it and create another one or simply use your second sub-domain ...

simply go to Websites >> selected website > click on Details > scroll to the bottom > press 'delete this website' ... and that should do it for you ....

All the best, cheerio ... :)

I assumed this was for a siterubix subdomain since you haven't upgraded to premium. If you indeed bought a domain, where did you buy it and when? For a site like godaddy, if it is within a couple of days, you get a refund and buy a new one. Moving sites here at WA is relatively easy. If it is hosted elsewhere, it may be that you indeed start out brand new and move forward with your intended domain.. It sound like you haven't got that far and are ready to start out brand new.

There is no way to rename your domain. You will need to buy the correct one and transfer your site there. You can then set the misspelled domain to not renewable state. You will own it for the year or what time youregistered it for. You can register a new domain under websites -> SiteDomains. You can then use a free plugin to transfer your content to the new domain. There are several, just search for transfer under plugins in your wordpress backoffice. Hope this helps!

You can certainly edit a SiteRubix subdomain by deleting it & creating a new one, but you can't edit an actual paid-for domain - you'd need to buy another.

You cannot edit your domain name. You can make the correction on the website you host on it like the branding. The actual domain URL can not be edited.
