  Dear WP,
  My name is Jackson Boonstra. I am a PhD student in The Netherlands. I see that the domain boonstra.wordpress.com has the message ‘boonstra.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.’ which is why when I signed up I was only able to snag boonstra1.
  If it is deleted, could I possible be allowed to use it?
  Please let me know what I would have to do. It’s okay if I ‘start over’, there isnt much on my blog yet but I wish to grow it for professional use!
  Thank you,
  JT Boonstra

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi, Jackson 👋🏼

  If it is deleted, could I possible be allowed to use it?
  Please let me know what I would have to do. It’s okay if I ‘start over’, there isnt much on my blog yet but I wish to grow it for professional use!

  Unfortunately, it’s not possible to re-use the old free WordPress.com subdomains 😕
