Domain name/address
-
Hi WordPress! I started a blog today using WordPress through Bluehost and I seem to have made a mistake. My domain name was still the temporary one so the web address was really long and ugly, so I therefore tried to edit it to something more catchy. I went into my admin settings and changed it, but the name that I changed it to is actually already the name of an existing site. Therefore, whenever I click on it it takes me to that website instead of my own. Basically, I’m not sure how to change the domain back to the temporary one because it won’t allow me to edit my site currently (it says 404 error when I try to log in).

Hi there!
We won’t be able to help you here as your site is hosted on Bluehost, not on WordPress.com.
Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:
You can look for help at the community forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
http://wordpress.org/support/ is also a great resource for sites using the open-source WordPress.org software.
