  I need to register the domain name esotericbookshop.com but I can’t ‘cos it’s already taken. In fact, it’s taken by WordPress. In trying out your site to see if it fits my needs I seem to have inadvertently used esotericbookshop which has become esotericbookshop.wordpress.com I own the domain name esotericbookshop.com.au which I can’t use on a US hosting site. I see no other listing for esotericbookshop.com and trying to upgrade my domain name doesn’t allow me to use esotericbookshop.com

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi,
  
  It seems like the domain name of ‘esotericbookshop.com’ is already registered by someone else through Register.com, you will not be able to claim this domain name through WordPress.com at this time, unfortunately.
  
  
  Would you like to connect your domain name ‘esotericbookshop.com.au’ with your WordPress.com-hosted website? You should be able to connect it to your account by following the steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/#step-1-add-the-domain
