  I want to change my domain name, eg. from abc.wordpress.com to xyz.wordpress.com. While changing I’m getting that this domain name is already in use, but when I visit the site, it says that the it is no longer available, the author has deleted this site…
  How can I get this name, if possible?

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

  Hi there,

  If the site was deleted by their authors two or more years ago it may become available again, if they present no username or other technical conflicts. What is the URL? I can check to see how long ago it was deleted.

  For more information, please visit our support page:

  Thanks for the support, the site name I wanted was expectolumos.wordpress.com, but I don’t need it now, I registered on xpectolumos.wordpress.com… However, unfortunately I deleted my previous one bhaveshkhatnani.wordpress.com… And so, I am unable to register it again even though I was the one who deleted it… So, how can I get it back??
