  Hi there,

  You can transfer your existing blog to your new account provided you still have access to your old account(which has the website you want to transfer).

  Please go through the document below to know more about it:

  Hope this helps!

  Hi there,

  We do not remove or reassign existing sites due to inactivity. If you want to use an address that has already been created by someone else, the only way that could happen is if the current owner transferred ownership of the site to you.
