  I had accidentally used the wrong account to create a site with a .wordpress.com domain, so I had deleted the site and logged into the correct account. When I tried to use the same domain name it says that someone is already using it. Is there a way that I can get it back? It as been sometime since this has happened, about three months.

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

  Hi there,

  When you deleted the site via the other account there was a very clear warning that this action is permanent and that the address will not be available for re-use. If you wanted to use the address with a different account, you could have just transferred ownership of the site to the account you wanted.

  What is the address you’re trying to use? We can only restore a site for 30 days after it is deleted, and we can only do that if the request comes from the same account that deleted the site, so we might not be able to do anything here if you deleted the site three months ago.

  Yeah…I went through the process pretty quickly since I was in a rush. I noticed that warning but it didn’t click in my head that it would be an issue until it was too late.

  Oh well, just have to think of another name. Thanks for the reply though!
