  Hi there. I’v been having a go at building a website today. I started and got pretty confused so deleted my website to start again. On my second attempt I can now not access the domain name I initially started with. Any pointers on how i can access the original domain name?
  Thanks,
  Daniel

  Hi Daniel!

  Would you please provide the old and new site URLs?

  Once you delete a site permanently, you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address.

  However, the WordPress.com should be able to help you recover the deleted site. A deleted WordPress.com site can be recovered within 30 days of deletion after that all of your site data is purged and cannot be restored, and the site address is deleted and cannot be reused.

  I’ve added a modlook tag for staff assistance. Please hold while they work their magic!

  Have a great day,

  Austin!

  Hi there – Before I can continue, can you confirm the site URL you would like to restore is lilgreensubmarine.wordpress.com? If it is not, please provide the original site URL you were wanting to restore. Thanks!

  Hi guys

  lilgreensubmarine.wordpress.com is the original URL i would like to restore.

  I started a new one which is ;

  https://lilgreensubmarine796515732.wordpress.com/

  I guess if I can get the original wordpress i started back i will continue working on that in order to preserve the URL.

  Thanks a lot both for your help.
