  Can I get a blog at plateiq-helpdesk.wordpress.com for free like it used to be?

  Thanks

  Hi there,

  I’ve tested the free domain with plateiq-helpdesk.wordpress.com and it’ll automatically be corrected to plateiqhelpdesk.wordpress.com. So I think the free domain on WordPress.com cannot contain special characters including hyphen ( – ).

  I’ve added a modlook tag for staff confirmation if this should be the case.

  Not staff, but that’s correct. Only letters and numbers can be used. See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/create-a-blog/#signing-up-for-your-first-wordpress-com%C2%A0site
