  There are warnings in place in order to try and prevent people from accidently deleting their site. Once a .wordpress.com address is deleted, it cannot be used again by anyone; this also includes the person that deleted the site.

  Blogger may have it’s own version of https://thetechwebsdotcom.wordpress.com/, replacing .wordpress.com with Blogger’s domain; use of “wordpress.com” in a URL is limited to users of WordPress.com.

  Were you using domain mapping with a custom site URL of thetechwebs.com? You could create another site with a similar name and then map your custom domain. Then you could do your administrative tasks on this new site, but visitors to your site would still see your custom domain. Does that make sense?
