Domain/Address transfer
-
I’m trying to obtain a .wordpress.com address but someone else has registered with the ‘name’ I’m trying to use. They have a .com website of that name and the .wordpress.com doesn’t exist. Is it possible for a user to transfer an address (which I presume to be their username) to another user?
I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

Hello there,
What is the address you’re trying to use with WordPress.com?
This will help with next steps.

Hi,
Thanks for responding so quickly. Sorry for my delay in responding; work and family. I digress…
The address I’m trying to get is “solicitedadvice.wordpress.com”.

Hello there,
Many thanks for that additional information.
It looks like this domain is not available for use.
You may want to consider custom a domain with the site instead whereby you have more control. (i.e. example.com)
Please note that a site would need a personal plan at a minimum in order to have a custom domain.

I don’t think I made myself clear the first time, I apologize. I’ll try again …
I know the domain isn’t available, it’s “reserved” but has not been activated by the person who registered with that name.
My question: Is it possible for the person who registered with “solicitedadvice” to transfer the domain ‘solicedadvice.wordpress.com’ to me if they do create it?

If you’re able to contact the owner of that username, and they are willing to create the site and then transfer it to you, that’s possible, yes.
The can follow these steps to transfer the domain to your account once they’ve created it:

But only the account for which the address is reserved can do this.
