  Hi there WordPress,

  I’ve been a member of WordPress since 2013 but haven’t done much with it. I deleted my previous domain, I’m not sure when, and I would like to reactivate it. Is this possible? Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!

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

  Also, the blog name I want is catboyce.wordpress.com. I’d prefer to begin my blog on that domain URL than the one I currently have.

  Hello catherineboyce!

  If you already own your own domain that is registered elsewhere, you can map it to your WordPress.com blog using the following information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  If you want to register a new domain and use that for your blog, you can using this information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/

  Hope this helps!

  Hi Jess!

  Thanks so much for your help :)

  I actually created a blog years ago with my nickname and deleted it (on wordpress) not thinking I’d want to use it again. I was wrong lol. I want to use the domain name that was deleted, catboyce.wordpress.com. Is it possible to use a name that I once owned but deleted?

  Thank you again!
