  Caros amigos do WordPress,

  I deleted my domain (alonebirds.wordpress.com) and wish to reactivate it again, but I can not. Please, I long to return to my old domain. I will wait anxiously for the solution of the problem.

  Deletei o meu domínio (alonebirds.wordpress.com) e desejo reativá-lo novamente, porém não consigo. Por favor, desejo muito retornar ao meu antigo domínio. Esperarei ancioso pela solução do problema.

  No, you cannot reactivate it. You deleted it. There are a whole series of warnings about how permanent that is, and if you overlook them, you’re screwed. Deleted domain names never become available again, to you or anyone else.

  I’m sorry but as raincoaster said you can’t start a blog with the same name. There is no recycling of deleted blog URLS here at wordpress.com.

  You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can purchase a domain name via a domain mapping upgrade as in that case it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
