  Hi, i’m trying to set it up and I can’t get past the ‘set domain’ screen. It doesn’t give me the free WP.com option, just premium upgrades. No matter what name I put in, I can’t get past this step.

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

  Hi there,

  Are you stuck on step 3 of creating a new site?
  Do you see this address in the address bar? https://wordpress.com/start/domains

  If that’s the case, you just have to enter a domain name and see if that’s available.

  For example, I would enter something like “theawesomeomkar” and then right above all the upgrade options, I will see a FREE option.

  You can select that free option and proceed to the next step.

  Let us know if that works for you :)

  That’s the problem. nothing I add to the domain search lets me see the free option. I’ve tried multiple things (including a random hash of letters) so for some reason I’m not getting this as an option.

  hmm.. that’s weird, can you tell us few things that you tried, I’ll try that from my side and see if that works here.

  sure, I tried:

  accuratefascism247
  accuratefascism
  accurate-fascism

  None of these came up with a free WP.com option
