delete blog to url my url for a website
-
Hi,
My client set up this wordpress blog and now he wants a website using the same url : naturabec.com
I can’t use this url since it is already used by this blog. My client wants a real website with an adress without the ‘.wordperss.com’ extension
How can I do that?
Thanks for your help

This site is hosted by wordpress.COm http://naturabec.com/ and has domain mapping in place.
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

Hi timethief,
Thank you for your quick response. The problem is that I have this response each time I try to set this website up : Sorry but this domain name is already mapped to a WordPress.com blog.
I am used to the website dashboard, I can’t find the same tools in the blog’s one. For example the plugins tool is not available, it tells me that I have to upgrade to a paid plan to have access to that.
So I want to delete this blog and set up website instead.
I can’t delete it from within the blog dashboard.
Any help?
Thank you -

Hi @sabrinaweb2015, I can see that domain is indeed actively mapped to another site. If the person who owns the upgrade will write in, we can transfer the upgrade to the correct site.

Thank you supernovia, I’ve asked the owner of the domain to take part in this discussion to fis this.
Thank you for your help
