Primary domain change warning for .home.blog sites

[marutim]

Quick summary

If users with a free .home.blog default domain on a paid plan attempt to cancel the plan, they’ll see a warning message saying the address would be redirected to the .wordpress.com subdomain. However, that’s not the case.

Steps to reproduce

• Access a site with a paid plan and a free .home.blog subdomain.
• Go to https://wordpress.com/me/purchases, click on the plan, and click the cancellation link at the bottom of the page
• You will see an error message saying something like this: “When you downgrade your plan, [sitename].home.blog will immediately start forwarding to [sitename].wordpress.com. [sitename].wordpress.com will be the address that people see when they visit your site. Would you still like to downgrade your plan?”
• If you actually cancel the plan and downgrade the site to the free plan, the .home.blog address would still remain to be the primary domain for the site.

What you expected to happen

I expect the warning message to display the correct domain to avoid any confusion.

What actually happened

The warning message says the address would be redirected to the .wordpress.com subdomain. That should rather say the address would be redirected to .home.blog subdomain

In my case, the *.wordpress.com domain for my site was already taken, which is confusing.

Are there any subdomains other than .home.blog to which that would apply to as well?
