  I had a blog mixa.wordpress.org but I deleted it. Why I can not take back the domain name?

  Hi. When you delete a blog, you must accept several warning messages asking you if you are sure you know what you are doing. They clearly state that you will never get the domain back again:

  If you registered a domain name with WordPress.com, though, that’s another story. You should still be able to change the DNS settings somehow:
