  I have a web address with Network Solutions. Is expired now. And I want to have it at WordPress. Am I able to register the web address with WordPress? How can I do that? It appears Network Solutions still has a hold on it so I can transfer.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Domain expiration is a long process, see this page for a timeline:

  Domain Expiration

  The fastest way to get your domain back may be to talk to Network Solutions and ask if they can still renew it for you. Then use Domain Mapping to use it with a WordPress.com site.

  Domain Mapping is included with all of the WordPress.com Plans:

  Otherwise, you will need to wait until Network Solutions releases it into the pool of available domain names again.
