  I want to use the name of my company as my blog name ( ACURE4Diabetes).

  However it appears that acure4diabetes.wordpress.com cant be used. I get this message ‘This site has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service.’

  How can I get access to use that name?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  You’d have to ask the owner or an administrator of the site about that. Ordinarily it could be transferred to you, but the “archived or suspended” status might prevent such a transfer indefinitely, or at least until the issue causing that status has been resolved. Transfer might be indefinitely prevented because it’s likely that the site will be deleted, and deleted URLs are not recycled.

  Contacting the owner or an administrator of the site
  You could use Google caches or a tool such as the Internet Archives Wayback Machine to see caches of pages and posts on the archived or suspended site. Perhaps the caches will include contact information.

  Thanks so much musicdoc1. Do you know how I can find out who the owner/administrator might be?

  You’re welcome.

  I’m just a volunteer, but don’t think WordPress.com will help you find the owner/administrator.

  The username acure4diabetes doesn’t exist, so I was unable to locate other sites under that username, or a Gravatar page. I mentioned a couple of alternatives you might pursue regarding searching for owner/administrator contact information in caches in my previous post.
