  Can I claim a wordpress sub domain that the site owner deleted because the one that I want has been deleted by the owner. It says this on the domain’s page ‘domain name.wordpressdotcom is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.’

  Although the owner of a deleted WordPress.com address has a 30 day window to ask staff to recover it into their account, once that point has passed the address can’t ever be used again by anyone.

  Ok, well that is kind of a dead-end business decision. Why not offer their members the opportunity to purchase the abandoned sub domains that they want for a $10.00 fee?

  Just a thought. Nobody is using them anyways.
