Blog domain set up problem
-
I own a domain that I want to set up a WordPress blog for however, it appears that the name was previously set up by someone and since deleted. As it is deleted, how can I now use that name for my blog?
-
These are the instructions for mapping a domain name you already own to your site here: http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ . Have you tried that procedure?
-
We have two threads on this going in two different directions. Perhaps you could clarify if you are talking about a normal wordpress.COM subdomain such as myblog.wordpress.com or if you are talking about your own domain name you have registered such as mysite.com.

Good morning,
I am talking about this path: myblog.wordpress.com. Thank you for your help.

When I try to use my domain name, it says not available, then when I search for the wordpress blog with that name, it says deleted by author.

Ddeleted blog URLs here are not recycled. That’s why 3 warnings are given and why a vertfication link in an email that must be clicked is sent in order to accomplish deletion.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
You can register your own domain by purchasing a domain mapping upgrade and then it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

hi. i registered my own domain name and i’m trying to back it up with filezilla. can you tell me how to find my own ip address
-
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and “your own IP address” has no application here at all. See > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

I’m trying to register a blog name myblog.wordpress.com. myblog would be the name of the domain that I own mydomain.wordpress.com however, mydomain has previously been set up on WordPress by someone else, then deleted by author. From what I understand then, is that if mydomain.wordpress.com has previously been used by someone else, then deleted, I can’t use it. However, it appears that I could use mydomain.com as my wordpress url however, I now have to somehow get mydomain.com into wordpress in order to use. I did not buy it through wordpress so I have to somehow upload it, correct?

It does not matter what any underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain URL is when you purchase a domain mapping upgrade and map from it to a domain URL. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/How to map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog. Follow those instructions if you already have a domain that you registered elsewhere, and you want to map that domain to your blog.
