  Hello!

  I had another blog URL on this account as a backup, but have since deleted the URL in an attempt to create a new domain on another wordpress account.

  Would it be possible to still use this? whenever I try to use the new domain I am told it is unavailable ‘…wordpress.com is no longer available.

  The authors have deleted this site.’

  Could I please manage to get this blog domain back so I can use it under a new account?

  Thanks!

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

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated at http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/.

  You can register another .wordpress.com URL and then purchase an upgrade plan so you can map to an existing domain.

  Register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Purchase a domain mapping upgrade knowing it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
