  I’m registered under thomasmouquot and I bought 2 domains:

  Thomasmouquot.com under wordpress
  Thomasmouquot.co.uk hosted under another agency

  I want to delete the domain “Thomasmouquot.com” but I’m not able and I can see this message:

  “Warning! You cannot delete a site if it has a domain registration upgrade because you need access to the site in order to get to the domain manager.”

  It tells my to edit DNS but I don’t any idea what is it about. Can you help me on that?

  Thanks,
  Thomas

  Hello,

  As the message you received mentions, you can’t delete a domain that has an upgrade associated with it.

  If you do not want to use your site any more, you can:

  • Make it private so that other users won’t be able to visit the site. You’ll still be able to access the Dashboard to get to the domain manager.
  • Transfer the domain to another WordPress.com site on your account by going to Store → My Upgrades, and clicking the “Transfer to Another Site” link. You’ll then be able to manage the domain through that site’s dashboard.
  • Transfer the domain to another user.

  Once the custom domain upgrade is removed from your site, you can return to Tools → Delete Site and start again.

  I hope this helps — let me know if you have any further questions.
