  Hello,

  Wanting to change my domain name “shogaflaith”, I created via the wordpress app another domain name to undo everything.
  But I realized that you could change the domain name through the application on the wordpress.com site …
  So I deleted the other site to free the name but now when I want to change the name “shogaflaith” to the other one, it tells me it is no longer available.
  Do you know what is the deadline to release the domain after a deletion?

  Thank you in advance.
  Shogaflaith

  It’s 30 days. I tagged this thread to get help from Staff.

  Hi there,

  We never release a deleted WordPress.com address. We can only restore the deleted address to your account.

  What is the full example.wordpress.com address you’re trying to get back?

  Once you’ve created a WordPress.com address, you cannot use the address change tool on another site to switch to the same address. Deleting the address just disables it permanently so that no one can ever use it again.
