  Hi @madetomovepilates,

  I have a FREE free domain name madetomove.sg with WordPress

  madetomove.sg is not registered here with us or hosted on our services. Do you want to check in with your current hosting/domain provider?

  Generally speaking, if you own a domain you like and want to keep, you won’t want to cancel it. You’ll want to transfer it instead, because cancelling it does not free it up.

  As for our services, you do have a free site: mtmpme.wordpress.com. If you cancel / close that, it would be deactivated. And if you prefer, you can point a domain to it as you like:
  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  Let us know if you have more questions!

  Hi, thanks for sharing but it doesn’t seem to make sense because If you click madetomove.sg (which is what I selected as free site, it actually goes to WordPress)

  Hi there,

  When I enter madetomove.sg in my browser, I get taken to a website built with the open source WordPress software, yes. But that’s all that WordPress is – a piece of software, just like, for example, MS Word, but unlike Word which you install on your computer’s hard drive, WordPress you install on a web server at a hosting provider.

  In your site’s case, that hosting provider is https://www.a2hosting.com/, so your site’s files exist on a server that they control.

  The forum you posted to here is for WordPress.com, another hosting provider, and as your site’s files aren’t stored on our servers, we don’t have any control over your site.

  And we’re also not the domain provider through whom you registered your domain, so we have no control over the domain either. It looks like your domain provider is https://www.exabytes.sg/, so contact them directly for any help regarding your domain.
