  hey folks,

  nikolaus.wordpress.com is a great domain name, my name is nikolaus i i’d have loved to take it. there is a person using it already, without any blog-entry, who has taken the domain in 2006. can i contact him in any way in order to ask him about if he gives me the domain?

  if he still needs it thats perfect, but of course, if there’s no need whatsoever i’d appreciate the domain a looot!

  well, hope you can give me some contact information because on the page there isn’t any email-adress listed.

  thanx and good luck,

  nikolaus

  Howdy,

  I’m sorry but we don’t reuse or reassign blog names on WordPress.com.

  If you like, you can attempt to contact the owner of that blog and ask them if they would like to transfer it to you. You can do this by either leaving them a message using a contact form if it exists, or leaving a comment on an existing page or post requesting they contact you.

  If you are able to reach the blog owner and they are willing to transfer the blog to you, here are the instructions they can use to do that.

  If they do not respond or refuse the transfer, you will need to select a different name for your WordPress.com blog.

  Keep in mind we also offer an upgrade for custom domain names and you can use any WordPress.com blog URL underneath a custom domain. For more details about how domain mapping works:

  Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)
