  Hi there,

  Can you tell us which site name you’re trying to register?

  Note that deleted site addresses are reserved and aren’t available to register. More info here –

  I hope this helps :)

  It’s true what omkarbhagat wrote: deleted sites will not be available for other users. More about this here. I’m not quite sure why this is so.

  If you’re trying to register this and you get a message saying that isn’t available, it probably means that the url is already taken, or has once been deleted. If it is already taken, you can get it from the owner if she agrees to it, but she has to add you as an admin user on his site (so you would need to know this person). Read more about that here.
