Do free wordpress domains expire after inactivity?
-
I want to start a free wordpress website, but the domain I want (rabbikatz.wordpress.com) is already taken. However, I see that the person who took it has never used the page; all there is is the default starting post from 2011. The website has been entirety inactive since then.
Is there anyone I can speak to about acquiring that free domain? Does WordPress have some policy about inactive domains, or does that person keep rights to his free wordpress domain forever, regardless of activity? -
Hello there,
There is no expiration date on .wordpress.com blogs unused, reserved or otherwise. If there is no contact information or you do not get a response to a contact form submission or to a comment on the site, Staff will not breach the privacy policy and provide you with an email address.

Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
