  someone already owns beyou.com; there’s just a placeholder site there now but that domain name is not available; to see info on the owner put the url into http://www.whois.net

  suggest you try other names to see if they are available; read about it here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domains-settings/

  cheers!

  I have a blog: festivalsfoodoverforties.wordpress.com and I would like to change it to gourmetgigs.com, still using wordpress. Can I do this (I bought the name through names.co.uk) and – this is really important – do your Site Redirect as I don’t want to lose any of my traffic or links. I wish I had realised I could buy the name through you which would have made things easier! Thanks!
