  I have a .com name with google that I pay for and when I do a search for the .com name on WordPress it comes up as available. Does this mean my site name is restricted to Google? or how is this possible if I am suppose to have this site registered in my name

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

  It is not possible for more than one site to exist per .com, and I’ve never heard of a site restricted to Google.

  Go to http://whois.net/ and enter the domain, or .com name, you want clarification about into the search bar. This service will run a quick search to see if the domain is in fact registered and available, and maybe even who owns it.

  Thank You for the help. The site you directed me to says the name is already registered. Which it should be. Do you know how I switch the wordpress.com site to my .com name

  Thanks again

  Unfortunately, WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers.

  There is information in this previous thread that outlines your options in getting your domain working with WordPress.com https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/transfer-domain-to-wordpresscom-1?replies=6
