  Hi,
  I have registered the domain name http://www.almapark.uk.com with DomainMonster and pointed it at the WordPress servers but when I try and attach it to my WordPress site it gives the following message:

  Other subdomains of this domain are registered to another user at WordPress.com so you can’t use it for your site. Only that user can register other subdomains.

  Which I don’t understand because although ‘ .uk.com’ is not a TLD it is also not a sub domain of ‘.com’ or any other TLD.

  Look forward to hearing from you.
  Best regards, Michael

  .uk.com does not appear to be a valid TLD or CCTLD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

  From what I can gather of the service, they’re just selling you subdomains of uk.com.
