  WordPress clearly states: ”uthuset.wordpress.com doesn’t exist”
  Still I seem not to be able to register that URLfor my new blog. Please help
  Best regards, bhammars

  It looks like the site is “reserved”. That usually means someone started the registration process, but hasn’t completed the confirmation process.

  Is it possible that you tried to register that url once before and got stuck part way through the process?

  The account has been registered for 4 years – now a blog is reserved for the matching account name

  ah, great detective work, auxclass.

  @bhammars I’m afraid you’ll have to choose another name. Even though the person who reserved the name doesn’t seem to be using the site, it can’t be used by anyone else.

  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
