  Hi,
  I already baught a name of a domain through hover.com and now am trying to get started on wordpress and activate the blog. In order to buy the premium, I need to put in a name of a domain.com. When I put the name that I baught, it says the name is already taken, (they just dont know it has been taken by me :/ ). How do I overcome this obstacle?
