Former site URL
-
I am new to this company. Looks like someone killed thevoipmart.wordpress.com before I got here. Well, the powers that be want to return to the previous url (thevoipmart) from our current url (gorillow). I saw that there was no way to reverse the complete deletion of that url but I thought I’d ask. I can’t use gorillow any more because of the rebrand. If there is any way we can get thevoipmart back, I’d really appreciate it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

https://thevoipmart.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.Deleting a URL is intended to be a permanent act and that is why warnings are given that one has to ignore to delete a site.
Deleted wordpress.COM blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
You can register another URL. See: Adding a New Site or Blog to an Existing Account https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#adding-a-new-site-or-blog-to-an-existing-account
Know that it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

OK. I figured that was the case. I read the support docs before I posted but figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.
Is there a way to see when the url was deleted?

Do you see a deleted site with an address you would like to have? You can try registering a new site with that address here. If it is available, it will be yours.
I do not know how to determine that. Let’s ask Staff. I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Subscribe to this thread so you are notified when they respond and be patient while waiting.

Hi gorillow,
Is there a way to see when the url was deleted?
I’m unable to give you an exact date but the site appears to have been deleted some time ago. It’s not something that has been done recently.
As @timethief mentioned, deleting a site is permanent and cannot be reversed. This means it won’t be possible to use that WordPress.com address. However, you can change your site address to something similar using these steps:

If you are unable to find the right variation of that name, you may want to look at registering a custom domain instead.
I hope this helps.
