  Hello

  I have deleted my account(thehumanexperience9) it said it had been deleted. Then i opened a new account with the name behind the bucketlist.com. I said .com bevause i have bought this domain name off GoDaddy. Then i saw in the URL thehumanexperience9 was still appearing and it seemed that the bucketlist name was now under the human experience name. so i tried to delet all, but the human experience one wont go away. And i Have tried to open another account with the behind the bucketlist user name and it wont allow it, it says its taken but i have bought this name. Please help me i am very confused?

  Kind regards
  Candice

  Hello Candice,

  I can see how this could be confusing for you. I checked and your site bucketlist.com has already been purchased (by you, I presume) at GoDaddy.com, and is hosted at GoDaddy.com. This is the reason why WordPress.com won’t allow you to purchase the same domain name.

  You can still get your purchased domain to work with WordPress.com by mapping the domain. Please follow the steps outlined here:

  Your domain bucketlist.com will be associated with your WordPress.com account, but it will be a different site.

  I hope this helps!

  Please confirm with GoDaddy before following the steps outlined here so that the steps taken will not conflict with your purchased domain name:
