Domain

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi, I’ve read that you can re use a domain name that you’ve previously had because of privacy, but can WordPress allow you to get your previous domain name back if you provide proof that you used to own it (so that you guys know that I usd to own it).

    Thank you

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

    Hi nature257enthusiast,

    can WordPress allow you to get your previous domain name back if you provide proof that you used to own it

    If the domain expired and was then registered by someone else, we won’t be able to help you get it back again. Once a domain is released back into the pool of available domains we have no control over it and cannot help you recover it.

    Expired domains can be recovered for a short time and this is something we can help with if the domain was registered with us.

    Hi the domain was registered to WordPress and no one else has taken it, plus it wasn’t expired. Can you please help me get it back? Thank you

    Hi nature257enthusiast,

    I thought you were referring to a custom domain but I see you want to recover a deleted site.

    Once a site has been deleted, it’s not possible to recover or reuse the address — for this reason we display warning messages to let you know the process cannot be reversed. While it’s not possible to use that address again, you can create a new site with a similar name.
