  i tried to create to domain homelessmike.wordpress.com and as i went to complete i typed in a password but it glitched and said my password was invalid but it wasn’t. as i exited it went all white and i had to restart. when i went to secure the domain again it only gave me homelessmikeblog, but i you look up homelessmike its reserved… and no one is using it, meaning it thinks im sill trying to put in a password, how do i fix?

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

  Hi Mike,

  I found a similar thread which might be helpful to you –
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/blog-is-reserved-but-does-not-exist?

  I think the homelessmike profile is registered 4 years ago
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/homelessmike

  So it is most likely reserved based on my quick research.

  Hi there,

  The situation is as @omkarbhagat explained. The username, homelessmike, has existed since 2012, and the domain, homelessmike.wordpress.com, is reserved for that user.

  If that domain showed as available to you during signup that was likely a glitch, and that’s why you couldn’t complete the signup process.

  It is not possible to reassign reserved domains, so only the homelessmike user can register that domain. In other words, there is no way that you’ll be able to register that address.
