Topics: change domain name

I want to change my domain name 'bestaffiliateguideline.blogspot.com' to something else without creating a redirect to the new domain.
If you have any opinion on how to change my domain without creating a permanent redirect to this domain, i will highly appreciate it.
Th reason i want to change my domain is because it doesn't relate that much to my blog.
Dont even ask. I know this is dumpp thing to do.

Just delete that blog and Create a new one(But you'll lost your blog content)

Otherwise, just go to settings - Publishing, and rename your blog address.

I don't know if you want to stay on Blogspot, but if you want to move to a selfhosted Wordpress blog it seems to be rather easy to do. At least according to this video. Migrating from Blogger to Wordpress: keeping search results.

  Thanks that was very helpful. But i dont know if i'm gonna lose all the submissions i've made to directories. If not then i'll proceed to import my blog to wordpress.

  I don't know either if you are going to lose those. But maybe you can ask that question to the maker of that video.
  
  Maybe you already followed the link that was with the video, but if not this is the site where there is some more information about the transmission.

Easiest way is to backup your blog, create new domain and recover all content there. You'll lose comments, I suppose, but the content will be fine. You have to go to the settings of your blog, and then go to Blog Tools -> Export Blog, then save it to file. And on the new blog go to Settings -> Blog Tools -> Import Blog take the file you exported earlier and Bob's the brother of your father.

My bad. You can simply change it by going to Settings -> Publishing
