Change host name on free account

I set up a free account a while ago to do some testing. I now want to use it for real - but I'd like to change the address that it uses.

ie delete "myname.office-on-the.net", and use say "myname.gotdns.org" instead.

Is it possible to change or would I need to delete the account and start again? I've looked and don't see the option to delete. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Click your hostname, and see the link button at the bottom to the left of the Save button: "Delete name-of-hostname".

@Viking Thanks for the delete instruction - I'd somehow missed the delete link.

@Havok I set up my two hosts over a year ago and both domains were on the free list then. Now it seems that the free domains are all branded with dyndns in their name. I'll probably have a look at no-ip or editDNS that still (i think) offer unbranded sub-domains.

Follow VikingTiger's instructions, but please do check the list of free domains first since neither of those are available on the free service.
