  I registered my domain ‘mylesomainnian.com’ through wordpress.com a long time ago and now its been expired. I want to register this old domain name somewhere else. But it isn’t available so I’m wondering what I need to do to use my old domain. Please advise.

  @mylesomainnian I don’t know where you tried to register the domain, but I checked on godaddy and it is available there. Please check again with whatever accredited domain registrar you contacted in the first place ASAP.

  FWIW- You do not necessarily have to register a domain and host the website on the same service.
