  I’m not a expert, actually a complete beginner. But I can follow instructions. I am trying to register a domain name so I click on upgrades and domains. I have the necessry credits. I fill out the form and click ‘buy’ but I always get an error message that says, “domain registration unsuccessful, only letters, numbers, spaces and “,@,*… are allowed”

  So i figure I’ve entered an illegal character…. except I haven’t! Only letters, numbers, spaces and one @ mark in my e mail address. I re-did it like 10 times over the course of 3 or 4 days and I get the same error message.

  Can anyone help???

  Your problem is that the www part is not allowed by WP.com. Try just sociedad11.com. The www address will still work, fyi.
