  Hi There, I see lots of questions about lost domain names with the free account. My question is thought, I want to pay for an upgrade and I have my own domain name through a host, but the domain name on my free account now is different to the one I would like associated with my address? Can you find the the domain name I deleted. I wouldn’t think it was taken by anyone?

  The site was deleted over a month ago and at this point cannot be restored.

  Oh?
  I want to subscribe, todat, if possible but need some clarification. I have my own domain name and will transfer it over, will it matter that the wordpress site is different to my domain name?

  In the future will i be able to get mykinesiologystudio back as a wordpress?
  …and does it matter?

  sorry and thanks
  :)

  That does not matter, no. If you set your transferred domain as the primary domain on your site, that’s the address people will see in their browsers. The underlying WordPress.com address will still be there, but it won’t be visible to search engines or visitors to your site.

  In the future will i be able to get mykinesiologystudio back as a wordpress?

  Once a free WordPress.com address is deleted, it’s completely removed from our system after 30 days. At that point it can never be reused again by anyone.

  But as I explained above, it doesn’t really matter if you plan to use a custom domain.
