Do I own the domain cooking with Cydney dot com?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello I signed up for #blogging101 and was checking to see if the new blog I purchased yesterday appears in Google. I saw someone is using the same name on Pintrest. I want to be clear that I own the domain http://www.cookingwithcydney.com
    Thanks

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

    Guess I should have titled this, “what if the domain name you took for your blog is already being used on other social media platforms?….should you change your name?”
    Thanks

    Hi!

    You do own the domain cookingwithcydney.com. Perhaps the Pinterest user is a former owner of the domain, and they no longer update their Pinterest account so they haven’t changed their domain. Every user that visits cookingwithcydney.com will see your site. They will not be directed to anyone else!

    Hi There –
    I am just starting #blogging101
    And thought it would be best to buy my blog site before the classes start.
    Think they need a 101 on how to buy 😊
    It gets a little confusing because when I received my confirmation email from WordPress for the purchase of the name it also said
    Cookingwithcydney.wordpressblog.com
    (Something like that)
    It’s gets a little confusing with all the suffixes
    Thank you for helping

    The email would have included the address cookingwithcydney.wordpress.com, which is your default blog address. If, for whatever reason, you cancelled the domain, your site would still be available there.

    At this point, cookingwithcydney.wordpress.com and cookingwithcydney.com are effectively the same site. Your readers will only see cookingwithcydney.com.

    Good luck with Blogging101!! Let us know if you have any additional questions.
