  Hi all, I deleted my website, but didn’t know I was losing my website/domain as well. I tried to start over, but my old domain is not available anymore. Can someone please tell me how to get back my domain? It’s mettevanwandelen.wordpress.com…

  Hi there,

  Unfortunately deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address, which means that your WordPress domain mettevanwandelen.wordpress.com is gone for good.

  I’m not sure if there’s a window of time where the Staff can act and reverse your deletion, so I’m tagging your thread to their attention.

  I’m quite sure you made an irreversible action but hopefully I’m wrong :)
