Domain Username
-
When I registered here I want to use my bluespotter as my domain username since I’m using that username, but it is unavailable already. I checked the site but it doesn’t have any blog post. Can I have that domain username?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi –
Each username is unique and can’t be deleted from WordPress.com. They are not recycled. So if the username is already taken you won’t be able to have it.
Domains are similar in that they are not recycled. If a domain is unavailable for registration you can continue to check it availability and might get lucky and be able to register it one day.
To register or search domains:

Hi! Thank you for your answer. I just want some clarifications. What do you mean in here:
Domains are similar in that they are not recycled. If a domain is unavailable for registration you can continue to check it availability and might get lucky and be able to register it one day.
So, I’ll be able to get bluespotter again?

bluespotter.wordpress.com is already owned by another user and will not be available for you to use. However, the domain bluespotter.com does appear to be available.
You can register bluespotter.com and this is what your visitors will see no matter what your .wordpress.com site address is.

Yes, custom domains start at $18 annually. You can see all the custom domain options when you register your domain. The links to register a new domain are in my first reply.
