  Hello,
  there is a blog name i would really like to get, but when i want to register it says its already taken. When i searched the address however, its no longer available because the owner deleted it.

  Is there a way to get that address for me since its not used anyway?

  Greetings,
  Nadja

  Hello there,
  Blog addresses are never recycled, but you can register for a custom domain.

  Addresses (URLs) for blogs that have been deleted by the owner will remain deleted. We cannot, under any circumstances, allow someone to take over the address of a blog that was previously owned and deleted by its original/previous owner.

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Fortunately, there is a nearly infinite supply of unused blog addresses – so our policy should not limit your address selection significantly. You can also register a custom domain for use with your blog so that the original ‘wordpress.com’ domain/URL is never visible to your readers.

  Register a New Domain

  I hope this helps. =)
